This guy would enjoy a book-burning party, like in Berlin in 1933.

"Certainly, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk would not claim that movies are not free speech, when they obviously are."

Personally I would not remotely put this past him.

Kacsmaryk has the face of Quoyle from The Shipping News: "Features as bunched as kissed fingertips. Eyes the color of plastic."

A less bigoted judge? This will go to James Ho's Fifth Circuit. There is arguably no more bigoted judge (on a circuit court) anywhere. These are fanatics who use legalesque language (eg, "aesthetic joy") to force their views on everyone else. They were credentialed under Trump or they would have no power. Now they have it for life.

Maybe we could build a wall around Amarillo...

''You do not see these same people lining up outside R-rated movies telling parents they can’t take their children inside — which they are allowed to do. As long as a child under the age of 17 is accompanied by an adult, they can go to a theater and watch any R-rated movie they want.''

As I have pointed out before, this ''rule'' is only a suggestion in that there is no law or rule. The MPAA (not MPA) suggests these ''rules'' but they have no authority. Mind you, most theatres go by this, especailly chains which are the majority of theatres these days. But there are numerous theatres that do not abide by the MPAA's bullshit. A lot of independent and college theatres do not.

So unless a group similar to the way out of touch MPAA is started that ''validates'' all shows, drag or otherwise, there should be no reason at all to not prevent anyone frome putting on any types of shows.

and what's up with these judges' "robes" anyway?

Perhaps we should just start referring to them as "coat dresses" to irk the judges appointed by TFG? Seeing their reactions would be an added fun bonus

You really really hope these bigot judges will be enshrined in history as the bigots they are.

I bet this judge could come up with some bullshit claiming that Trump planning a violent insurrection was just free speech. Which is typical of many Federalist hacks on the various courts, especially the Supreme Court, where consistency in decisions seems to be a rarity and respect for precedents is totally absent.

Boy, this judge really wants TFG to put him in Clarence’s seat, doesn’t he?

One can hope.

I'm what these chucklefucks would regard as a "real" woman. And you know what really, REALLY gets on my tits?

It's not drag shows or trans women using public toilets or the term "pregnant people". It's disingenuous fuckers like this, who use me and my "safety" AS A FUCKING WEAPON, and pretend they're doing it for MY benefit.

The biggest threat to the safety of women and children is men. Particularly conservative and religious men. Drag queens and trans women don't even move the fucking dial.

Don't piss on my leg and tell me you're giving me a refreshing wash. And don't use ME as your fig leaf to hurt LGBTQIA+ people.

Fuck conservatives in general and this arsehole in particular.

the version of drag shows that exist entirely within their imaginations says a LOT more about them than it does drag performers. the only ones constantly and vividly imagining drag performers molesting children are NOT the drag performers.

these conservative weirdos a) need to get some professional help b) need to NEVER have children left alone with them. because as we all know it is always projection.

The sickest imaginations and often deeds come from the most self righteous, very often self proclaimed Bible humpers, people.

"...knew of potential lewdness...."

I spend all my time looking for potential lewdness. Am I doing it wrong?

Fuck Ted Cruz. And his podcast.
