Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signs into law restrictions on drag shows, citing concerns that they contribute to the sexualization or grooming of children. The new law goes into effect in July, and will ban adult cabaret from public property or anywhere minors might be present. Drag performers will be subject to a misdemeanor charge, or a felony if it's a repeat offense. This legislation has raised concerns that it could be used to target transgender people, but sponsors say that is not the intent. The LGBTQ community is working to bring acceptance and joy amidst increasing threats.
