Arkansas Gov to ban drag shows for kids

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is poised to sign a bill that will re-define drag shows as ‘adult-oriented performances’ and ban them from public squares with children in attendance.

It is astounding that there would be a side debating against it.

But, as the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports, there was “audible dissent” from Democratic lawmakers when it was being voted on in the State House.

The bill defines an “adult-oriented performance” as a performance that is “intended to appeal to the prurient interest and that features a person who appears in a state of nudity or is seminude,” including prosthetic body parts.

It states that the performance can not “take place on public property” or “admit any minor for attendance.”
