Republican lawmakers in Missouri, Tennessee and other states are advancing bills that would restrict drag show performances. The proposals threaten the LGBTQ community as well as businesses, critics say.
Wendy Williams has owned her bar, Club Temptation, in Cookeville, Tenn., for six years. She regularly holds space for drag performances, including drag brunches and bingo. Williams also performs drag herself.
"Our drag shows are popular. It's an important part of the entertainment factor of the bar," she said.
But this very kind of entertainment has become a target in Williams' state.

Maybe this is a backlash because of kids being indoctrinated to these shows? I remember a few years ago listing on Canadian radio when there was a native Canadian guy who was complaining that he was being discriminated against because he was gay. My wife knew the individual and what the radio show didn't tell you is that this guy would dress up and drag where stiletto heels and fishnets and you wonder why people were making fun of him? He wouldn't pass for a professional drag queen or female impersonator. He was butt ugly. When they talk about being inclusive, that doesn't mean showing all the sick stuff the kids that are still learning reading, writing and arithmetic. As we have seen in many blue States and in colleges, they are now brainwashing kids, high school and college students and they claim that conservative values are considered hate speech.
I have no problem with gay people having their drag shows or whatever but they shouldn't be forcing it upon people or little kids at restaurants
