It's written too broadly ... and will be shot down in court.
... and cabaret does not typically feature nudity. A show of that type which does feature nudity, would be described as "burlesque."
If we are talking about a performance on public property, the onus is on parents/guardians to keep children away from where these shows are taking place. Those performers have as much right to be there as you do. As long as they are fully clothed, it should not matter to the government if they are cross-dressing or not. The government has no business regulating how people dress.
You missed the word “adult” in front of cabaret.
Some of the shows at issue are are taking place IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. How are parents supposed to keep their children away from those “performances”?
There is nothing in the bill citing “cross-dressing”. You are either not understanding or are lying about this part:
“male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest”
I provided the definition of prurient for you in the earlier post.
Again, a drag queen that manages to get into a school to read to an elementary school class is going to have 1st Amendment protection. But parents have a right to object and push back on their school board officials and school administrators. When the drag queen wears sexually suggestive attire and is twerking for the children, they risk being locked up.
This legislation wouldn’t be necessary if the “performers” weren’t using children to see how far they can push their agenda.
