Texas lawmaker proposes new legislation banning minors from attending drag shows
A Republican lawmaker said he wants to ban minors from attending queer-inclusive drag shows. In recent months, conservative politicians in the United States have made it their mission to attack the LGBTQ+ community with harmful legislation.
From the horrific ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill to the numerous anti-trans sports bans, the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals have consistently been targeted.
Now, some Republican officials are shifting their focus to queer entertainment. On 4 June, the Mr Misster bar in Dallas, Texas, hosted a family-friendly drag show in honour of Pride Month.
The event also gave opportunities for young aspiring performers to showcase their talent. While the event was a hit with attendees, a viral video from the show garnered unfavourable attention from conservative politicians.
