People found guilty of performing #drag in the presence of someone under 18 would get a misdemeanor of the first degree.
If the performance involved is "obscene", a violation is a felony of the fifth degree. However, the proposed law, as written, makes all drag performing obscene under the proposed law.
If someone present at the drag performance is under 13 years old, the performer would get a felony of the fourth degree under the proposed law. #dragShows
@Twiglet Proposed #GOP Ohio bill banning drag shows may have wide-ranging impact on #theater performances
The obscenity law is vague, ranging from something that shows lust like a kiss or a character having a crush to intercourse
Shows like Hairspray, Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire could lead actors & performers to be charged with up to 18 months imprisonment and thousands of dollars in fines
#tennessee Republicans think they can take away their freedoms they better think again. A Trump appointed federal judge ruled that the state's ban on drag shows is unconstitutional. #pride#dragshows
