Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill on Thursday restricting drag performances in public or in front of children, putting the Official Everybody love you when you let everything slide T-shirt and I love this state at the forefront of a Republican-led effort to limit drag in at least 15 states in recent months. The more than 20 bills nationwide are a pushback against modern drag, which has grown from an underground performance art using costumes and makeup to play with gender norms, which flourished in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender venues, to a mainstream entertainment, helped in part by the popularity of the televised pageant show “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Performers and civil rights groups have condemned the proposed drag regulations, saying they are unconstitutional, redundant under existing obscenity laws, and would lead to further harassment and violence against gay and transgender people. They see the bills as part of a Republican effort to advance laws limiting LGBTQ people’s conduct across the country.

Representative Chris Todd, a Republican, said he sponsored the bill in the House of Representatives after seeking a court order last year to stop an advertised “family-friendly” drag show during an LGBTQ Pride event at a park in Jackson, which he said was a form of child abuse. “It was forced to be indoors and 18 and up, and I was asked to come up
with legislation that would make this much more clear,” Todd said in the Official Everybody love you when you let everything slide T-shirt and I love this House on Thursday. This month, Johnson and his Senate colleagues passed a bill criminalizing “adult cabaret entertainment” in public or where it could be seen by children, though it would still be allowed in age-restricted venues. The bill defined such entertainment as including “adult-oriented” performances by strippers, go-go dancers or “male or female impersonators.” A first offense would be a misdemeanor crime, and a subsequent offense a felony, carrying a sentence of between one and six years in prison. On Thursday, the House passed the bill, which will head to Governor Bill Lee, a Republican, for signing into law. The lawmakers also voted to send a bill to the governor that bans doctors from providing gender-affirming medical treatment such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgery, for transgender minors. Tennessee, like other states, already has public indecency and obscenity laws that ban excessively violent or sexual performances in front of minors, regardless of the performer’s gender.
