Legislation is heading to Tennessee’s Republican governor that would ensure drag shows cannot take place in public or in front of children

is a bona fide cultural phenomenon. Highly popular drag brunches bring revenue to restaurants. That such spectacles are now being portrayed as a danger to children boggles the minds of people who study, perform and appreciate drag.

Under the Tennessee bill, the words “drag show” are not explicitly stated. Instead, the legislation changes the definition of adult cabaret in Tennessee’s law to mean “adult-oriented performances that are harmful to minors.” The bill also says that “male or female impersonators” now fall under adult cabaret among topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dancers and strippers.

“I find it irresponsible to create a law based on a complete lack of understanding and determined willful misinterpretation of what drag actually is,” Montana state Rep. Connie Keogh said in February during floor debate. “It is part of the cultural fabric of the LGBTQ+ community and has been around for centuries.”

How legislation would provide benefits for 42,000 disabled veteransA bipartisan group of lawmakers is reintroducing legislation Tuesday that would extend full military benefits to an estimated 42,000 combat-injured veterans. Seems like something that should have already been in place for decades. Though the article doesn't really state what those who don't get full benefits aren't getting. So what is the gap that is trying to be filled? Not enough! They put their lives on the line to keep this country free.

Photo surfaces as Tennessee governor vows to sign anti-drag billRepublican Gov. Bill Lee says it would be “ridiculous” to conflate a recently surfaced yearbook photo of him wearing women’s clothing in high school to drag show performances currently under attack in Tennessee and other GOP-led states. Photo 'Surfaces.' LOL They went digging that's for sure. Except for the picture in question, it has him dressed as a woman while the women in said picture are dressed as men. It appears this picture is from high school, so they're most likely doing an opposite day or a spirit week to boost school pride. It is not him dressed in drag.
