Governor dimwitty is afraid of drag shows. Maybe he's afraid he'll find them appealing? I mean who knows…
(Personally I think they're a hoot and think everyone should give them a fair shake. Heck just watch robin Williams in the 90s era movie birdcage to get a sense of it)
In any case he wants to "ban them" and punish businesses that host them.
But as I've opined before, it's hard to draw a line. What if someone hosts a Monty Python tribute show? The Python guys were famous for always playing women (backstory: women comediennes were hard to come by and often got snatched up by other troupes). What if the cast is true to the spirit of the Python troupe and uses men as women…effectively dressed in drag? Would that violate the law?
And if you're thinking it's about the content of the show, what if risqué and raunchy content that is in standup comedy? Or straight acts (even Broadway performances) that feature "straight people" being explicit.
Where do you draw the line? What if you call it a "drag show" and it's something else, entirely different. Like a car drag race?
Stupid people…
