I'm admittedly not a Constitutional scholar ...
... but a state government prohibiting a form of entertainment on public property, based on how the performers are dressed, could be interpreted as an infringement on their 1st Amendment rights, which protects freedom of expression.
It's definitely interesting that the left is so furious that Tennessee, and Florida, want to stop the men playing dress up from being around children. If you notice, none of their arguments are about the men being able to Express themselves, or dress up like they pretend to be, not one single one. It's only when they're restricted from being around children, that's when they start threads and make comments on any social media.
I agree with you 100%, but I'll challenge you to show me a thread, or even a post by anyone on the left that had an issue before state government banned it from schools, or near schools.
Edit to say, while i agree that the government shouldn't tell people how they should dress. I'm in agreement about keeping mentally unstable people who play dress up away from children. You can't make fun of people and call them anti science over covid stuff, then argue that a man in a dress is a woman.
You sure do seem awfully triggered by someone opposing dress up. You can't debate, you'd look dumb trying to explain the science behind a man pretending to be a woman, period. You're exactly what I was talking about, triggered as crap because these perverts can't be around kids. Like it, lump it, I don't care. You're so freaking unstable it's hilarious, the instant you see a comment you don't like you can't debate, you call names like a middle school kid. Guys pretending to be women aren't women, period. You want to debat6that? Show me in the science how it's possible, or go hug a blanket with your personal feelings.See Joe, here's the thing. There would be an actual exchange of ideas, but then you go and broadly paint the whole drag community as mentally unstable and try and imply that drag queens are all trans.
It just makes you sound ignorant and willfully dumb as **** when it comes to this matter, and well, that kind of makes it impossible to debate with you about it.
Nobody employing an ounce of common sense believes that's what's being targeted. It's written that way so people can try to justify their bigoted, unconstitutional stance to their friendsThe part that the deranged leftists gloss over or leave out is that it is sexualized performances being exposed to children is what is being targeted. Adult cabaret. That is what the legislation is aimed at, not some dude that wants to play dress up. The leftists are just using it to promote their made up narrative that the right is bigoted. They are chronic liars.

That's nonsense. Do you honestly believe anything you typed?If it is written to go against the Constitution then the bill would be created by leftists.
The bigoted narrative is more lies crafted by the Democrats desperate to hang on to their LGBQ+ base. Dems are always accusing Republicans of being racist, misogynists, xenophobic, or Nazis to fool their low information voters. It’s a tired, deceitful strategy that they promote with the assistance of the MSM, globalists, Hollywood, and teachers unions.

Once again, that is too broadly written ...1) It is an offense for a person to engage in an adult cabaret performance:
(A) On public property; or
Once again, that is too broadly written ...
The Tennessee state government is trying to legislate how performers can dress while they are on public property. I don't think that will pass muster with the 1st Amendment. The law violates the performer's right to freedom of expression.
It's written too broadly ... and will be shot down in court.When you omit the primary definition that is included in the bill then it is broad.
"Adult cabaret performance" means a performance in a location other than an
adult cabaret that features topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, or similar entertainers, regardless of whether or not performed for consideration
============================================================================
You can’t perform a sexualized exhibition in front of children and use the 1st Amendment to justify it.
Luckily the Dems haven’t dismantled the Bill of Rights (yet), so that same 1A protects citizens from their actual rights being taken away by the government.
======================================
Before you promote the leftist’s lie, here’s the definition of a key word for you that is part of the legislation:
“having or encouraging an excessive interest in sexual matters.”
======================================
It seems pretty simple. Dress up as a member of the opposite sex in view of minors - not an issue. Drop your pants, bend over and expose yourself to that audience and risk losing your freedom.
