Back to EpisodesCourt Upholds Texas Drag Show Law
Description
A federal appeals court has upheld Texass Senate Bill 12, which restricts certain public drag shows. The law, set to take effect March 18th, bans sexually suggestive performances in front of children, imposing fines on businesses and misdemeanor charges on performers. The court ruled that most challengers failed to prove their events were sexually oriented, questioning if acts like lap sitting in thongs and revealing chest moves deserve protection around minors. Texas leaders praise the law for protecting children, while opponents argue it stifles family-friendly drag and arts, vowing to challenge it in district court.
