Some Arkansas Republicans want drag shows to be classified as adult-oriented businesses,
00:05
the same designation given to strip clubs and adult theaters in the state.
00:08
If passed, the bill would not allow drag shows to take place on public property
00:12
or within 1,000 feet of churches, schools, parks, and libraries.
00:16
The bill's creator said the legislation would protect children
00:19
and wondered if God would approve of drag queens.
00:22
The new measure, which was approved earlier this week in the Arkansas Senate,
00:25
is now headed to the state house for consideration.
00:28
According to the bill, drag shows are defined as someone singing, lip-syncing,
00:31
dancing, or performing before an audience of at least two people
00:35
while exhibiting a gender identity different from their gender at birth.
00:38
Critics of the new measure say the proposed legislation is so broadly worded that it
00:42
could apply to transgender individuals both in public as well as their own private homes.
00:47
A Democratic lawmaker said the proposed bill is unconstitutional and unfairly
00:51
targets the LGBTQ plus community given that restaurants like Hooters and Twin
00:55
Peaks are not classified as adult businesses.
