*This
bill, if passed, would only apply to Drag
Storytime at public libraries or other
locations which receive |
state money. |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
*This bill, were it to become law,
would be the same as laws covering a cabaret
but with the words |
"drag
show" instead of "cabaret". This is simply a
sneaky attempt to outlaw drag shows. |

"Relentless
Republicans
advanced
three
anti-LGBTQ
bills to
the full
Arizona
Senate
on
Monday
despite
warnings
that the
bills
might be
unconstitutional. |
|
Senate
Rules
Attorney
Chris
Kleminich
warned
the
Senate
Rules
Committee
that SB
1001,
which
targets
transgender
children
in
schools,
and SB
1026 and
SB 1698,
two
weapons
in the
GOP’s
war on
drag
queens,
weren’t
likely
to be
upheld
in a
court of
law." |
|
SB 1001,
sponsored
by
Republican
Senator
John
Kavanagh,
prohibits
teachers
and
school
officials
from
referring
to
students
by
pronouns
that
don't
match
their
assigned
gender
at birth
unless
they
have
written
parental
permission.
That
bill
moved
forward
in the
Senate
Education
Committee
in
January." |

"Despite
Kleminich’s
admonition,
Republicans
advanced
the bill
to the
full
Senate
with a
4-3
vote.
Republican
Senators
Warren
Petersen,
Sonny
Borrelli,
Sine
Kerr,
and
T.J.
Shope
voted to
advance
the
bill.
Democratic
Senators
Lela

"Kavanagh,
who has
been
attacking
LGBTQ
people
in
Arizona
for the
past
decade
and who
has a
habit of
authoring
unconstitutional
bills,
also
sponsored
SB 1026,
which
would
prohibit
public
money
from
being
used to
pay for
“drag
shows
targeting
minors.”" |
|
"The
Fountain
Hills
Republican
sponsored
SB 1026
despite
telling
Phoenix
New
Times
that he
can’t
think of
an
instance
in which
taxpayer
dollars
were
used to
put on a
drag
show for
children
in
Arizona.
The bill
defines
public
money as
“tax
monies
of this
state,
federal
monies
passing
through
the
state
treasury,
or any
other
state
monies."
It was
passed
by the
Senate
Government
Committee
on
February
9." |

[...] |

"SB 1698,
sponsored
by
first-term
Republican
Senator
Justine
Wadsack,
would
add drag
shows to
a state
law
about
"dangerous
crimes
against
children."
The bill
defines
drag
shows as
adult-oriented
performances
and
compares
them to
bestiality,
child
sex
trafficking,
second-degree
murder,
and
sexual
assault." |
