There's several Shakespeare plays involving cross-dressing. So basically they're going to outlaw Shakespeare.

The longer the Americans focus their attention to the culture war, the less likely they pay attention to economic issues.
Same tactics the Tories are using in the UK now, their deputy chairman has even admitted their record is so poor, the culture war is all they have left.
Shame that it seems to be working...
We need to start hammering them. The media clearly is unwilling or unable to do it. Every time one of those right-wing family value fuckers starts talking about this stuff yell some catchphrase at them like
"How about rent?" "What about the rising debt?" "Why isn't insulin free?".
I am going to start with my local ones.
Don’t let Republicans pretend they care about children while allowing them to get slaughtered in the classroom and raped at bible camp and forcing them to give birth,

First things first.
This is exactly why the 1st amendment is so important.
I drove through a tiny rural town, population 4300, in my province earlier this summer, which barely has enough people living there to support running a donut shop, let alone any sort of drag venue, and some idiot had signs at the end of his driveway saying "No more kids at drag shows!". I mean, it's literally the asshole of northern Ontario, a drag queen has never had a reason to go anywhere near there, he's obviously never left the town in his life, let alone seen a drag queen in person, and yet he paid to put up signs on his driveway people will mostly ignore about a subject that has nothing to do with him. Conservativism really is like a brain fever or something. The things they believe are so exquisitely stupid.
Anyway, I love drag and want to marry Naomi Smalls, and I'm hopeful this psychotic legislation in the US all gets struck down.
This feels so stupid. There are people out there that really want to ban such shows? It's an art like any other. What's next, ban street mimes? Make improv ilegal?
It's part of the Republicans' strategy to stir up trans panic and use it as a wedge issue. Drag is only tangentially connected to trans people but their voters don't know that.
Men portrayed women for thousands of years until western societies began allowing female actors join their troupes.
I mean they're already implementing what is next: Making it illegal to look/be trans in public
I know of a judge who would be happy to disagree… once he’s back from his 5th vacation trip this month.
You would essential have to outlaw all acting.
