A federal judge in Tennessee has blocked the state’s anti-drag law from going into effect for now.
The law, which restricts drag performances, was signed into law last month by Republican Gov. Bill Lee. It passed along with a bill banning gender-affirming care for youth.
Those found in violation of the law, which outlaws “adult cabaret entertainment” with “male or female impersonators,” could face felony charges on repeat offenses. It bans drag performances from public property or venues that “could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.”
Memphis-based nonprofit Friends of George’s, a theater company that produces original, drag-centric performances, has sued the state over the law.
