In March, Tennessee became the first state to restrict drag performances. The law is the first of its kind to pass – but may not be the only. There are similar bills being considered in at least 17 other states.

Woman living out in the sticks and telling us that we are the ones living in the twisted way is hilarious. She read one book and took it as fact and now are ruining 4 kids lives by home schooling them in the woods… and that’s her parental choice just like it’s anyone else’s parental choice to take the kid to a drag event
Outlawing drag in Tennessee? So tell me this is the year for me to get in drag without telling me.
I am not christian. Why should christians have rights to say what i can wear and what i can read, and why are their views more important that anyone elses?
If you do not outlaw 1980s Madonna, you cannot outlaw drag. If you have a hooters and allow kids to go in, then you have to allow kids at a drag show.
This is not hard.
You wouldn't take your kids to see pole dancers or Chippendales, so why would you take them to a nighttime drag show?
It isn't drag queens who are killing people.
And new mexico is u alivung drag queens and indigenous women.
Good…get rid of the groomers
This is sin!
The real problem in this country is out of control christianity trying to force their life style on everyone else. They will not be happy until we are all living in a christian theocracy.
Save kids, ban them from Catholic churches.
One of the biggest group of bigots is the Christians. They hide behind their religion and hunt through the bible to prove their position.
Most people killed by guns are killed by family members or someone they know. NOT CRIMINALS. Criminals are just the bug-a-boo people use to scare non-gun owners.
Where were the people who demanded the right to carry guns to protect childen at school? How much worse would it have been if gun owners had joined the situation? I believe more people, including children, would have died.
A free country means you can go or not go, that is freedom to choose. It is ridiculous that we are losing our freedoms because a group of people don't like it or agree with it. As long as you are not hurting others.
Our rights are under attack in the country that says we are free to choose. Give our freedoms back.
Good.
Its not the drag community thats confused, educate urselves before spreading such hate. Keep ur hate and violence out of Kentucky. Stop using God for ur hate, its blasphemous.
I love this reporter.
A black person is one race that understands what it feels like to be ostracized
5:53 this lady is a freak.
Idgaf about any of that and don't care for it, but I do believe that that is a 1st amendment constitutionally protected activity regardless of your views. Like practicing whatever religion you want or not.
This huge distraction is working for the people who don't understand or care about others. Protecting children is not the issue here. It's about adults who believe in shoving their views on everyone else. You don't like drag, then leave it alone. It's as ridiculous as saying that fine art museums are inappropriate for children. Don't like it, don't take them. Take a deep breath and leave others alone in peace.
Trans woman doing drag defeats the point. Jesus! Those trans are taking over everything!
I grew up in the 80s in London uk and drag was the thing ffs get over it you narrow minded bigot it’s 2023 not the 1950s please don’t bring bloody god in to this do you have a private line to god???? How do you know what he/she wants
Degenerate people would be fine if they kept it to themselves. But they keep attacking our kids and they're pushing their lunacy on the normal people. Mentally healthy folks need to organize and start fighting back against these sickos.
Good, keep these freaks away from little kids!😂
If you want to have drag shows go head. But I will not permit my children to be read stories or go to drag shows performed by these degenerates and perverts
Keep that pervertedness behind close doors. Doesn’t belong in a civilized society
Leave these people alone!
Sending love from Minnesota <3
Are you offended by drag queens? Let me offer my thoughts and prayers
Ya right, these groomers are going to schools to dance for kids. .. sicko demoncrats
Children shouldn't be around their classmates or family when they're being shot and killed either. No matter what anyone says, a dead child is worse than anything imaginable.
How do parents have their little kids around these things?
Drag show have been a source of entertainment for centuries. We laughed and were entertained by drag queens and now everyone has a problem with it. Drag shows aren't the problem. I don't know why they're making it into one.
If you go to a woman's bathroom as a man expect you might get punched by a father and or verbally be told off
Our roads are crumbling beneath our feet, the price of everything is skyrocketing, we are at risk of being shot and killed anywhere we gather, teachers are fleeing the classroom, nobody can afford healthcare… but Republicans NEED you to spend 100% of your energy fighting drag queens!
Put it back in the DSM please 🤦🏽♀️😂🤡
I don't understand why you would color the states blue in your graph when the states trying to enact this bs are all RED STATES.
I'm so confused…. aren't strippers legal? So it's about insecure men and their women worried they might what? Like it too much?
Republicans wanting to tell adults AK-15 rifles not a danger to kids, but wearing a dress and high heels is dangerous to kids? Vote these extreme control freaks out of office!
There's a lot of drag queens who don't want to perform for kids and disagree with children transitioning, it's sad that the overreachers are causing all members of the drag community to be punished.
I think we can all agree that lewd acts should not be done in front of kids. I've seen many drag shows with that content. My question is what is "lewd." If a queen shows some cleavage, would that be enough for someone to be arrested? If so are we doing that to every woman? I would imagine not. But a wholesome performance of a g rated song, I'm thinking Disney songs, for instance, would absolutely infringe upon free speech.. something the right loves to ptotect, unless its speech they dont agree with. But there's absolutely no reason to be upset about a drag queen reading to a kid. To me it teaches kids to not fear drag queens any more or any less than anyone else.
that a biological male. why do they keep saying she.
