The ACLU of Texas represented local LGBTQ groups, businesses and a performer in a lawsuit against state officials who would enforce the restrictions.
Brian Klosterboer, an attorney affiliated with the ACLU of Texas, expressed his concerns about the Texas Drag Ban, emphasizing its extensive impact on various forms of free expression in the state.
He further asserted, “This legislation directly contradicts the principles of the First Amendment. It is unacceptable for any entertainer to face imprisonment simply because the government disapproves of their speech. We are urging the Court to prevent this infringement on the constitutional rights of all Texans.”
Earlier this week, business proprietors and a drag performer provided testimony before U.S. District Judge David Hittner.
The legislation aims to limit displays or portrayals, whether actual or simulated, of male or female genitalia in a suggestive manner. It also encompasses the presentation of sexual gestures employing accessories or prosthetics that accentuate male or female sexual attributes, potentially affecting the practice of cross-dressing in public performances, as outlined in the bill.
