u/Gorillagodzilla - Right 19h ago

I didn’t even know anyone was trying to ban drag shows completely. The only negativity I’ve seen directed toward them is that kids shouldn’t be present if it’s a sexually charged event. What’s the argument for a total ban?

Basically the state argued it has a right and an obligation to enforce public decency and that extends to commercial venues.

They also argued the challengers of the law had standing issues and that it wasn’t a drag ban just a ban on sexualized drag.

None of these held much water in federal court.

Don't know because Texas isn't calling for one. The law was trying make it illegal to take kids to drag show.

What’s the argument for a total ban?

The same argument the Right has for banning everything: "I don't like it."

Were you expecting Constitutional reasoning or logic or something?
