The bills call for a ban on drag shows and create the “What is a Women Act.”
Rep. Arnold Mooney, R- Shelby County, has a bill toaround children. The bill labels a child’s exposure to drag queens or kings as sexual conduct and a nuisance. It prohibits performances from schools, libraries and other public places where minors could be present.
Josh Coleman with Central Alabama Pride says they host drag shows all the time, but none specifically tailored for children. “This really limits freedom of expression and free speech that we’re guaranteed under the Constitution,” said Coleman. “However, some parents have chosen to bring their children to drag brunches or stuff that happens during the day at venues that are safe and affirming.”
“I do agree with the concept that children need to be kept safe from issues that they are not prepared mentally to face,” said Rep. Susan DuBose, R-Jefferson County.“Very important constitutionally to protect our freedom of speech and freedom of expression for consenting adults. But as long as this bill specifically protects children, I’m absolutely in favor of that,” she said.”
