A federal judge threw out a Texas law prohibiting “sexually oriented performances” in public or where they may be viewed by children, saying the so-called “drag ban” represented an unconstitutional infringement on free speech.
issued a permanent injunction Tuesday against Senate Bill 12, citing case precedent that found “drag performances are expressive content that is afforded First Amendment protection.”, a Reagan appointee based in Houston. “This is no different than a person’s opinion on certain comedy or genres of music, but that alone does not strip First Amendment protection.”
So far the courts have sided with the drag queens. Newly passed laws in Florida and Tennessee aimed at preventing children from seeing drag performances have also been blocked in recent months by federal judges.
