Chattanooga’s DA. Seems reasonable.
“This piece of legislation is not as complex as some are making it. First, the law specifically states that it is an offense for a “person” to engage in the listed conduct. Therefore, inquiries as to whether businesses or venues can be prosecuted is not applicable per the legislation itself. The State of Tennessee through District Attorneys General pursues prosecution against persons, not entities. Further, the legislature specifically included the language “appeals to a prurient interest” after “male and female impersonators who provide entertainment” in order to shield individuals who may be acting or playing a role in a performance that has no sexual connotation. What it boils down to is very simple, except for on public property, adults can engage in any of the listed behavior. The legislature has decided that children should not be present at strip clubs, locations where there are active go-go dancers and exotic dancers, or locations where there are active drag shows.
Pursuant to this legislation, if a stripper were to perform in front of a child, the stripper could be prosecuted for an A misdemeanor offense. If a drag queen performs in front of a child, the drag queen could be prosecuted for an A misdemeanor offense. Again, it’s not that complicated. The rumors that the Tennessee legislature has “banned drag shows” are simply false and misleading.
These cases will be handled by my office in the same way all other cases are handled. Officers may use discretion. My office will use discretion. We will consider the law and the facts and we will work to reach a just and fair outcome if and when these situations arise. My hope is that the listed performers will continue to express themselves and perform in front of any adult audience that they so choose.
I will never issue a blanket statement that I will refuse to comply with a Tennessee criminal statute. That is contrary to the oath that I took. I will continue to justly and fairly enforce the laws of the State.”

@GhostShelter thanks for the clarification makes it 100% better

"This seems reasonable if you just regurgitate the justifications of the people who support it without thinking critically at all"
|

It’s funny cuz Trump was even in a weird video with Rudy Giuliani who was in drag lol, like even their favorite guy doesn’t mind drag
Hell plenty of kids shows have had cross dressing in it growing up. Drag isn’t inherently sexual like a stripper would be. I’ve been watching this podcast about Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide hosted by the former main cast cuz nostalgia and they went over how Cookie was in drag for an episode
Like it can and has been child friendly for ever. Bugs Bunny even

I love them so much. Cannot wait to see them live this weekend!!
|
| |
I saw them live once they were incredibly terrible but I respect them for this despite it
|
| |
i love that they perform 2 sets at their shows
they know they're what the people want!

As a native Nashvillain and citizen of this stupid world I love this news so much

Protect the kids from drag queens, but not guns or people who work in religion and have a history of harming kids
Anyway, love YLT

the anti-drag crusade has made working with kids difficult in ways i never imagined, teaching tolerance is now definitively seen as "grooming" by so many misinformed parents to the point that it makes me want to give up
speaking as a queer person, if i knew of things like drag and pride when i was a kid, i probably wouldn't have all the issues i have today with depression and shit. first time i was ever exposed to gay rights as a kid was protesters near my elementary school calling gay marriage an "abomination" and i think that sewed seeds of self-hatred that have never really been undone

go ylt, keep fighting the good fight

You love to see it

This is what republicans think happens in schools
|
| |
genuinely have no clue what a drag show even is can someone explain
|
| |
does Whitest Kids U Know qualify
|
| |
that's a show of drag, not a drag show, but sort of
|

“ I’ve been watching this podcast about Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide hosted by the former main cast cuz nostalgia and they went over how Cookie was in drag for an episode ”
That show was fucking great. Hoping they eventually get that reboot they wanna do.

thanks milton berle, you ruined America

The entire drag situation is by far the dumbest chapter of the American culture war. The whole thing.
|
| |
just wait until the republicans have a new idea next week
|
| |
i mean there were leaked emails from republicans stating it's all bullshit for the culture war to get an up in the next election cycle, that's all it ever is.

Drag is such an issue until fox news anchors need to wear makeup during broadcasts
|

"i mean there were leaked emails from republicans stating it's all bullshit for the culture war to get an up in the next election cycle, that's all it ever is."
republicans also continuously vote in favour of child marriage laws. They don't care about kids getting hurt, they just hate queer people.

When will conservatives go after forces actually negatively affecting our youth like djent music?
|
| |
Knowing Republicans, they probably would sooner promote djent

^ Those BASTARDS

God, I hate this fucking country. As a former drag queen, no we don’t have any desire to molest your children. That is your local priest or babysitter. I just want to make sure that your damn child can read.
|
| |
Not sure how I missed the reports coming out of Tennessee of all the rampant drag queens sexually abusing young kids to justify the need for this law...
|
| |
i’ve seen one video of a sexual drag show that had kids in it but it’s like, just punish those specific people lol
|
