Republican Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is poised to sign into law the first bill in the United States that would ban drag queen performances from being hosted at any venue where children might be present and, additionally, that would make it a criminal offense for anyone hosting or performing in them.

On Monday, Feb. 27, the Tennessee governor said that he intends to sign the bill as soon as it reaches his desk.
