“Adult cabaret performances” in front of children and transgender medical treatment for minors have now been banned in Tennessee, as Republican Governor Bill Lee signed the legislation into law Thursday, March 2. Both laws will go into effect beginning July 1.

The adult cabaret performance bill, which includes shows by drag queens or female impersonators, is the first such bill to be signed into law in the United States.
