Drag will remain legal in Tennessee!
You read that right. A judge in Tennessee has ruled that the attempt to ban drag shows is unconstitutional. This is a huge win for the queens and allies in the South who are fighting tooth and nail to keep their art legal. The goal of the legislation was to prevent children from seeing drag, but the whole thing has been put to a stop. If you are in TN, continue to support your local drag performers!

Props to the state of California for honoring the incredible Sister Roma and the work her group does.
