LEGISLATION WOULD BAR KIDS FROM ATTENDING DRAG SHOWS

A Republican House member has announced plans for legislation that would bar children being in the audience at  drag shows. State Rep. Aaron Bernstine from Lawrence says the idea is to prevent drag shows from being performed at schools and libraries. The legislation was inspired by controversies over such shows in Lancaster and Bucks counties. The proposal would classify drag shows as an “adult-oriented business” and is similar to new, similar mandates in other areas of the country.
