TL;DR Summary

Drag queens in Tennessee protested against a new law that would make drag shows on public property illegal. The law, which bans "male or female impersonators" from performing "adult-oriented performances that are harmful to minors" anywhere it "could be viewed by a person who is not an adult," is the first of its kind in the nation.

A federal judge blocked the law from going into effect at midnight on Saturday.
