Judge strikes down Texas ban on drag shows, tells people offended by them ‘just don’t go’

[Guno צְבִי]

U.S. District Judge David Hittner, a Reagan appointee, said the measure, known as Texas Senate Bill 12, improperly restricted speech, violating the First Amendment of the Constitution. The ruling prevents state Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is running for the Senate, from enforcing the law and denies his motion for a new trial.

In the ruling, Hittner also had advice for "those who find such activities as described in this case offensive."

The shows are adults only. Do you feel threatened by them?

I'm fine with that.

its the people who did trans drag shows for children that need to be tortured and beaten to death, ....metaphorically.

 

[WinterBorn]

While they may exist, I have never seen a drag show that involved nudity. The point of the show is to LOOK like a woman and lip-sync to a song.

Not much less harmless than that.

Pretty rich for The Republican Party that used to promote itself as protector of America's public morals having Ken Paxton assuming the role, nevermind Donald Trump with us day in and day out.

The whole "public morals" thing is just a control mechanism.

I have morals. They are not "public". They are my own beliefs.

I don’t support children attending any twerking show, the trans part is not relevant.

Why did you add that condition?

No, we have our own, without the government telling us what they are.

Some people never get over not having their mommies to guide them.

do you believe in laws against child abuse?

 

[Jerry Mathers]

I support the parents deciding that.

should parents get to decide if child abuse is wrong?

 

[WinterBorn]

society needs public laws and standards.

Indeed we do. However, public laws and standards are not all we have.

Laws against murder, rape and theft? Great idea!
Laws against men wearing women's clothes? Bad idea.

There are laws against child abuse.
