  TFW Mrs. Doubtfire gets reclassified as hardcore porn
context: So - will any theater be allowed? How about Broadway productions? 
  Will Halloween be allowed? 
  How is it okay for the government to decide what citizens should wear/do? >
  
  Yes to all of them, but stage productions can't have cross-gender casting anymore. Men are no longer allowed to play female parts and vice versa. Same with Halloween. Boys are no longer allowed to dress up as female characters and same thing for girls. >
  
  No more productions of Peter Pan anytime soon. >
  
  Well, really, why were they casting young boys as Wendy Darling anyways? >
  
  I mostly remember Peter being played by Cathy Rigby. She did the broadway version and the live toured version. >
  
  Also, Sandy Duncan. She was Peter on Broadway for ages! >
  
  Philistines, every last one of em lol >
  
  somebody needs to use these laws to sue to stop those toddlers in tiaras type beauty pageants, where they sexualize little kids. >
  
  Ironically enough this new law would classify child beauty pageants as a bannable drag performance. They're defining drag as anything that emphasizes a masculine or feminine body, which covers a shit ton of things that are nowhere near being actual drag. >
  
  You already know conservatives will blame liberals when strip clubs shut down because of their own laws. >
  
  I want someone to exercise/test one of these stupid laws with literally any movie (or any stage production) that has an actor in clothing that doesn't "match their gender". Seriously - "Mrs. Doubtfire" or "Medea" are okay, but "Drag Story Hour" isn't?
  These idiots need to find a real problem to focus on. >
  
  The thing is many HIGH SCHOOL theater productions require girls to play male parts simply because fewer boys participate. These bills would outlaw such productions. >
  
  What about private same gender schools? Are they no longer allowed to do school plays? >
  
  How will they do Supernatural the musical? >
  
  Badly. >
  
  Hmmm no changes then. >
  
  Bugs Bunny dressed as a girl bunny is now illegal in Arkansas. >
  
  Not illegal, just labeled "obscene" and thus can only be in adult businesses.  Which is hilarious, because that means if you want to rent Mrs. Doubtfire, you can only do so at a porno shop. >
  
  It's now gotta be 'behind the beads' at the rental place hahaha >
  
  The GOP is sure spending a lot of time thinking about drag shows. >
  
  Whilst you are clutching your pearls worrying about drag queens and cartoon M&M's choices in shoe wear you do not notice US companies hand slipping into your pockets and steeling your money. >
  
  Exactly >
  
  Between this and the Kansas abortion law, legislation seems to be increasingly written-like those bullshit "literacy tests" Jim Crow states used to keep minorities (and anyone-else they felt like discriminating against; no discrimination, there) from voting. >
  
  Why am I supposed to be upset if a dude, lady or other wants to wear a dress and makeup? That ain’t my problem. I’m concerned about that 30% “fair tax” act the gop is trying to push on us. >
  
  Idk friend but let’s the let the party of freedom and small government sort this out for us and tell us what we can and can’t do >
  
  
  The original bill defines a drag performance as when one or more performers "Exhibit 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" while performing. 
  
  So, this makes the movie Mrs. Doubtfire and that episode of Bugs Bunny where he dresses like a lady viking and sings opera obscene.   Also that one episode of Saved By the Bell where Screech dresses like a lady janitor, the teen comedy "She's the Man," the classics "Some Like it Hot," and "Tootsie." >
  
  Also Monty Python and SNL. >
  
  
  and SNL.
  
  Rudy Giuliani is officially a porn star in Arkansas. >
  
  Let’s hope that it backfires and bans strip clubs and hooters and see how fast if gets dismantled >
  
  i want to see how many stupid unintended consequences this law will hit. it’ll be hilarious >
  
  Or they can get it enforced selectively & target only the "kind of people" they want to hurt. >
  
  This is what happens when frothy mouthed barely coherent nut bars get in power, they can't even speak without talking themselves in circles, who would expect them to be able to produce a coherent legal document? >
  
  Well unless they specify in the law what matches what gender then who's to say? I think a cute skirt and high heels matches the male gender just fine if that's what they want to wear. I mean Scottish warriors wear skirts and Vladimir Putin wears heels. So that's two of the GOPs heroes wearing the wrong clothes. >
  
  Trump wears what essentially are heels as well. Kitten heels, but still heels. Or maybe they started off as stilettos at one point. >
