Republican hysteria over drag has led to a draft law so poorly constructed that it would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous. (via Deadline: Legal Blog)
this week with a bill seeking to criminalize drag. It would be laughable if the thought behind it wasn’t so dangerous.a “drag show” as a “show or performance for entertainment during which a single performer or group of performers do both of the following”:
DRESS IN CLOTHING AND USE MAKEUP AND OTHER PHYSICAL MARKERS OPPOSITE OF THE PERFORMER’S OR GROUP OF PERFORMERS’ GENDERS AT BIRTH TO EXAGGERATE GENDER SIGNIFIERS AND ROLES. ENGAGE IN SINGING, DANCING OR A MONOLOGUE OR SKIT IN ORDER TO ENTERTAIN AN AUDIENCE OF TWO OR MORE PEOPLE. The idea is absurd on its face, but it’s worth exploring, very briefly, why that is. First, while the malign intention of the bill is clear, it barely makes sense grammatically.
