“The bill also says that any drag performance is obscene if it "excites lustful thoughts" in someone who sees it, regardless of the performer's intent.”

That sounds a little bit like this Braxton feller maybe has deeper issues with drag performances.

All the Braxtons I've known (at least in fiction) have turned out to be feckless dickwhistles, so it makes sense this Braxton is no different.

"Modern Science makes clear that "hypersexualized" drag performances confuse children's minds and may lead to early sexual experimentation, drug use, and mental illness..."

Suddenly the anti-science crowd is all Science Rulz? They'll never admit that their 7,000th great granddaddy was a deer tick.

They know it's about acceptance and joy and laughter. That's why they strongly opposed it.

Children exposed to those things won't grow up to be miserable, broken, fundamentalist shitheads.

"...defines "drag performance" as a performance that "features topless dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, or male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest,"

Umm, wouldn't this also have the effect of banning ALL exotic dancers, even the non-cross dressing ones?

All drag performances are sexual, are they?I can't see many people finding Dame Edna that sexy. https://uploads.disquscdn.c... I might consider it for Lilly Savage, RIP Paul Grady. https://uploads.disquscdn.c... But it's a weird and disturbed Republican who claims Widow Twankey is sexy. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

These are the same assholes who are against universal school meals because it's the parents' responsibility to feed their own kids. And child hunger is not enough of a reason for them to act in loco parentis. 🙃
