Texas will not implement its ban on sexualized drag performances for kids after a federal judge granted a two-week restraining order against the legislation in response to a lawsuit filed by LGBT advocates.
“Based on evidence and testimony presented at the hearing, the court finds there is a substantial likelihood that SB 12 as drafted violated the First Amendment of the United States Constitution under one or more of the legal theories put forward by the plaintiffs,” U.S. District Judge David Hittner wrote in the temporary restraining order (pdf) on Aug. 31.
