A bill to ban drag performances on publicly owned land or anywhere where children could view the performance is most likely dead for this session of the Kentucky Legislature.

The bill, introduced by Republican Sen. Lindsey Tichenor, is almost officially dead due to not having enough time left this session for the legislature to override a likely veto by Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear.
