pb loves it. SwampConservatives have, in effect, taken their page from the progressive SwampLovers' playbook. Nice!
For, what?, 60ish years?, progressives have used, primarily, the courts to force their morality on the rest of the world. Now, following the leadership of popular culture hero Ron DeSantis, conservatives are beginning to legislate their own morality on the world...and, their morality is popular!
How's it feel?
pb'd love to know what po and pt think about the political skirmishes surrounding the trans, uh, movement.
The bill would establish a criminal offense for anyone who engages in “adult cabaret entertainment” on public property or in a location where the show can be seen by someone who is a minor. The legislation defines adult cabaret entertainment as “adult-oriented entertainment” that is harmful to minors, features go-go dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, male or female impersonators or similar entertainers, and includes a performance by an entertainer.
The state Senate passed the bill 26-6, with all Democrats voting against it.
The bill’s advancement comes as Republican lawmakers nationwide have been pushing forward legislation that addresses the LGBTQ community, and in many cases specifically the transgender community with proposals impacting minors’ access to gender-affirming care.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) also filed a complaint against the Orlando Philharmonic Association last week over a drag holiday show that minors were allowed to attend, arguing it violates state law.
