OT "I'm Dealing With A Few Transgender Issues"

Aren't dogs colorblind?

 

Not me.

 

and I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free...to discriminate against someone else, who doesn't look like me...and I'll gladly stand up, next to you, and ridicule LGBTQ today...cause there ain't no doubt I'm afraid of you...especially if you are gaaaaaaay....

 

...but corporations are evil so we want to take trans rights away? WTF? Conspiracy excuses.

If you truly believe trans people have the same rights and you want them to have the same rights, stop making laws that take those rights away.

Federal judge rules Tennessee restrictions on drag shows unconstitutional

A federal judge ruled on Friday that a Tennessee law banning drag shows in public or in places where children could view them is unconstitutional, finding that it violates freedom of speech protections.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker said in his ruling that the law, which Gov. Bill Lee (R) signed in March, is both “unconstitutionally vague and substantially overbroad.”

issued a preliminary injunction at the end of March to block the law from taking effect. He agreed with Friends of George’s, a Memphis-based theater group that produces drag performances, comedy sketches and plays, that the state’s Adult Entertainment Act (AEA) could apply “just about anywhere.”

Friends of George’s argued that the law would violate its free speech and put its members at risk of felony charges over the shows that it has held for years. The group argued that the law is overly broad because it applies to minors of all ages and anywhere that a minor could be.

Parker agreed with the argument, ruling that the AEA was passed “for the impermissible purpose of chilling constitutionally-protected speech.”

He ruled that the state has a compelling interest in protecting the physical and psychological well-being of minors, but the law is not the least restrictive nor most narrowly tailored way that it could accomplish this without violating free speech.

The Tennessee law was the first in the country to directly target drag shows. First-time violators of the law could have faced a $2,500 fine and up to a year in prison.


The Hill has reached out to Shelby County District Attorney Steven Mulroy, which Friends of George’s had sued in the case, for comment.
