NE Bill Would Criminalize Taking Kids To Drag Shows

News Channel Nebraska reports:

A bill proposed in the unicameral would place limitations on who can watch drag shows in Nebraska. The bill would ban anyone under 19 from watching a drag show, and it would prohibit anyone under 21 from watching drag shows where alcohol is present.

LB371 was introduced by Republican State Sen. Dave Murman and is already stirring debate in the Legislature. Democratic State Sen. Megan Hunt has filed a motion to postpone the bill indefinitely, a decision that is still pending.

Anyone who knowingly brings someone underage to a show would be subject to a misdemeanor. The entities themselves would be subject to a $10,000 fine per violation. The bill would also make it illegal to use state funds to host a drag show.

Nebraska comes out with its first anti-trans bill and its a doozy.

It is a drag ban that targets trans people. People under 21 years old can't see drag. It defines drag as trans people performing.

It would charge trans people with misdemeanors.

This bill doesn't even bother with the "prurient interest" part.

It entirely is just "if you are exhibiting a gender identity other than your own and making jokes or doing a play or monologuing or creating art, you're doing drag"

And says 21 year olds can't see you.

Senator Murman just introduced a bill to put age limits on drag shows, and I just filed a motion to indefinitely postpone it which would kill the bill. We will fight this bill every step of the way. #NELeg https://t.co/CWHVnf8CfA

Looking for the silver lining, this means parents can’t take kids to church anymore, right?

I wonder what these kids think about this as they grow older and mature.

I’ve always thought that these child beauty pageants were pedophiles’ dreams.
