SB 12, a law in Texas that restricts drag performances, has been declared unconstitutional by a federal judge.
the law is an "unconstitutional restriction on speech" and "violates the First Amendment as incorporated to Texas by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.", the first state to restrict drag performances in public, was also blocked and ruled unconstitutional.
"LGBTQIA+ Texans, venue owners, performers, and our allies all came together to uphold free expression in our state - and we won," the ACLU of Texas said in a social media post. "This work isn't done but for now we celebrate. Long live Texas drag!" The ACLU of Texas represented local LGBTQ groups, businesses and a performer in a lawsuit against state officials.
Performances would be restricted from public properties or in the presence of someone under the age of 18.
