Just wait until they find out about their own male ancestors that went to military school dressed up in drag once a year.
And what about strip clubs? How do they classify those? Have these people ever been to a drag show, do they even know what it is? >

Strip clubs are designated as “lunch designations.” >

I tried to eat at a strip club once. Was escorted out. 🤣 >

Nice one dad >

You’re dad is funny lol >

The Nazis felt the same way
​

In mid-1932, a crackdown on homosexual subcultures in Prussia began after Chancellor Franz von Papen deposed the Prussian government. Some homosexual bars and clubs in Berlin had to shut down after police raids. In January 1933, the Nazi Party took power; immediately, their real and perceived enemies were the subject of a violent crackdown. On 23 February that year, the Prussian Ministry of the Interior ordered Berlin police to shut down any remaining establishments catering to "persons who indulge in unnatural sexual practices". This order was extended to other parts of Germany. In Cologne, almost all gay bars were forced to close. In Hanover, all had closed by the end of the year. >

I wonder how many death camps have to be built before people see this for what it is
Personally I want to stop the genocide before it happens, but somehow that's still unpopular with some >

They wouldn't be called Death camps, or anything like that. They will be called re-education centers, or something similar. >

They'll be called corrective centers or assimilation academies, as a bullshit rebranding technique. >

Y'all need to stop worrying about painting y'alls nails and concentrate on not being gay, to help you we are providing you with concentration camps >

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans had actual ideas for governing. Their ideas were all manifestly wrong, but at least they seemed to want to govern, however badly they may have misunderstood the assignment. But now Republican rhetoric seems to be 100% tribalism. Anti-immigrant, anti-trans, anti-drag. They have no actual policies. At this point if a Republican politician trotted out the Laffer curve it would almost be refreshing. It would at least be a change of pace. >

GOP went from the party who fought against slavery, to the party that wants to bring it back. >

Republicans just want to molest children. This move feeds into the lie that people who hold unaccountable levels of power over the lives of children are less likely to prey on children than people who have no power over the lives children and would be held accountable anyway if they did anything. >

They might as well regulate the bathing suits people wear at the beach. >

Well in Missouri the GOP defined what a women legislator can wear in their capital house. >

No nudity. No touching…How is a drag show different than any other live entertainment (stand up comedy, singers, skits, theater…)??? These people need to get a life of their own and stay out of everyone else’s. >

I would imagine there are some DQs that aren't even LGBTQ, but just entertainers who need the gig. >

There are plenty. Not a majority by any stretch of the imagination, but there are a bunch that are straight dudes who like putting on women's clothing and putting on a show. >

Tyler Perry better stay the hell away from Arkansas. He’s going to be public enemy #1 after decades of pushing his brand of filthy adult orientated smut at unsuspecting families. >

Madea's corporal punishment of kids will be an inspiration to them, though. >

Wait until Arkansas finds out about Halloween. >

Satan's birthday?
That's ok because that's the one night they can dress like ghosts. >

Will these ghosts have hoods on their heads? >

Geez, Arkansas. I mean, y’all elected that no-fun Trump-pandering Sarah Huckabee Sanders (one of her first “actions” at the seat of power was to ban the use of LatinX) as governor … Now this? I’m not gay, or a cross-dresser, or a sexual explorer by any definition … but dayum my opinion of Arkansas is flushed down the terlet. Buncha sexist, self-righteous, sanctimonious doofuses. Live and let live, like Jesus implored you! smh >

Not all of us did. We worked so damn hard to not have her elected, and none of it matters. >


Arkansas Sen. Gary Stubblefield, R-District 26, filed a bill Monday that would classify drag performances as part of the "adult-oriented business," along with escort agencies and other businesses. 
SB43 would amend current Arkansas law concerning the definition of "adult-oriented business" to include a drag performance with adult arcades, an adult bookstore or video store, an adult cabaret, an adult live entertainment establishment, an adult motion picture theater, an adult theater, a massage establishment that offers adult services, an escort agency, and a nude model studio. 
The bill also states that an adult-oriented business cannot be located on public property or anywhere where a minor could view the adult-oriented business.

​
In section two of the bill drag performance is defined as "In which one or more performers

(i) Exhibits a gender identity that is different from the performer's gender assigned at birth using clothing, makeup, or other accessories that are traditionally worn by members of and are meant to exaggerate the gender identity of the performer's opposite sex; and
(ii) Sings, lip-synchs, dances, or otherwise performs before an audience of at least two (2) persons for entertainment, whether performed for payment or not; and (B) That is intended to appeal to the prurient interest; and (27) "Minor" means an individual who is less than eighteen (18) years of age."

​
Republicans literally want to legislate LGBTQIA+ people out of existence and force them back into closets. Drag shows are not adult entertainment, but they have to promulgate their religious guilt and shame onto everyone else.
​
All I wonder now is how many Christian nationalists will be caught trying to hook up with a drag queen like they do prostitutes. The hypocrisy is on full display with this one. >

So this kinda makes high school drama club stuff a bit illegal if it's any sort of acting role and say a female plays Peter Pan? >

Or what about a period piece where men wear garments typically used for men at the time like tights and high heels? It was "male clothing" then, but is considered "female clothing" now. >

Does anyone else remember that long before Men In Tights, Mel Brooks made a half-season of Robin Hood on TV in When Things Were Rotten? >

I do!  Loved it. >

Thanks for this!! >

Wasn’t there a movie roughly based on a similar premise using dance and religion? Footloose 
Pepperidge Farm Remembers >

With John Lithgow, who played a transgender in Garp >

It’s all so ridiculous.  It’s not even culture wars anymore.  It’s comical. >

Comical? Or risible but dangerous? >

It’s always been dangerous but we’ve entered the absurd. >

I love it when small government controls what events people get to attend. >

You omitted the crucial word: small minded government.
No one can surpass a committed Republican when it comes to small-mindedness. >

Gawd  I'm glad I don't live in one of those back assward states >

What in Benny Hill's name are these people trying to accomplish??? >

For trans and gay people to be too afraid to exist in the public eye
