Majority of Brits totally oppose Tennessee-style drag ban, survey finds
The vast majority of Brits would oppose a drag ban similar to the one soon to be implemented in Tennessee, a new survey has found.
More in Common, the group that conducted the polling, asked 2,018 respondents in the UK: “Several states in the United States have proposed legislation to ban public ‘Drag Shows’, a form of entertainment which involves performers impersonating men or women.
Would you support such a ban in the United Kingdom?” Those surveyed supported a range of the country’s political parties and their ages varied from Gen Z to the Silent Gen.
Across all of the groups, more than two-thirds (62 per cent) said they would not support a ban on drag performances. Just 20 per cent said they would support a ban, while a further 19 per cent were unsure.
