HB 9, signed by Gov. Bill Lee, makes 'a person who engages in an adult cabaret performance on public property' -- or where it can be viewed by minors -- a criminal offense.

Tennessee has become the first state to restrict drag performances in public.

A first-time offender will be charged with a misdemeanor. A second or subsequent violation would be a Class E felony, the legislation reads.Right-wing and conservative backlash against drag shows and the transgender community has prompted legislative restrictions on both groups. "For a couple of minutes, an hour or two, whatever the case may be - I just want everybody to forget all their troubles," Catrina Lovelace, a drag queen, previously told ABC News. "For me, what a drag show is, is just a celebration of life."

"Neither of these laws are about protecting youth - they are about spreading dangerous misinformation against the transgender community," said Human Rights Campaign Legal Director Sarah Warbelow.

That's not a bad thing but the presidential secretary is saying otherwise

Good thing they are also pushing guns hard, the one thing that actually kills kids most.

Awwww, groomers upset they can’t sexualize children

This is good news 🙏🏻

GOP

Lest we forget that Tennessee is trying to pass a bill to eliminate age requirements for marriage. Let that sink in hypocrites.

Good!

You're saying my toddler can't watch 'topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, male or female impersonators, or similar entertainers' in public anymore? What's next? Not letting me shit on the sidewalk?

I love how freedom loving patriots / Christian like telling other people what to think, hear and see.

Win 🥇

the comments coming from unhinged liberals are pathetic

Republicans taking away freedoms…just getting started.

So, when do they go after the pedo-churches?

More pastors have abused children then people in drag but they refuse to outlaw pastors.

Oh No! Not the topless dancers.
