flag A federal appeals court allowed Texas to enforce a law banning sexually oriented performances, like drag shows, in public when minors are present.

flag A federal appeals court has allowed Texas to enforce Senate Bill 12, which bans sexually oriented performances—such as many drag shows—in public spaces when minors are present. flag The Fifth Circuit overturned a lower court’s injunction, ruling the law is not unconstitutionally vague and does not violate the First Amendment, as it targets conduct, not expression. flag The decision, based on concerns about minors’ exposure to sexually explicit content, permits enforcement while legal challenges continue. flag Critics, including LGBTQ+ advocates and civil rights groups, argue the law suppresses free speech and unfairly targets drag performers. flag The case may eventually reach the Supreme Court.
