[FoxNews] The three-judge panel reversed a 2023 district court ruling that found the law unconstitutional
A federal appeals court has ruled that Texas can enforce a 2023 law that prohibits drag shows in public or when children are present, although the ruling indicates that the judges do not believe all drag shows would be restricted under the measure.
Senate Bill 12 bans drag performers from dancing suggestively or wearing certain prosthetics on public property or in front of children. Business owners could face a $10,000 fine for hosting these performances, and performers who violate the law could be slapped with a Class A misdemeanor.
A three-judge panel in the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on Thursday reversed an earlier decision by a district court, returning the case to the district court, according to The Texas Tribune. |
