Federal Judge Strikes Down Tennessee's Anti-Drag Law as Unconstitutional.
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge appointed by former President Donald Trump has ruled that Tennessee's anti-drag law is unconstitutional, citing that it is "unconstitutionally vague and substantially overbroad" and encourages "discriminatory enforcement." The law would have placed strict limits on drag shows and banned adult cabaret performances from public property or anywhere minors might be present. The Memphis-based Friends of George’s, an LGBTQ+ theater company, filed a complaint in March, saying the law would negatively impact them because they produce "drag-centric performances, comedy sketches, and plays" with no age restrictions.
