Thanks, I was wondering if I somehow forgot to read
Thank God I wasn't alone.
Fucking word soup up there.
Nope, definitely not alone.
Montana judge continues blocking anti-drag-laws
Yeah, holy shit, that headline is hard to parse with the "maintenance of restrictions on enforcement of bans."
I'm sure many Republicans are rejoicing since a fair few of them love drag shows.
Ha! Your comment is like the headline!

Hey there's no shame in being fabulous. They should get to live their best lives too. Queens 👑👠
american law confuses me.
It is a good thing the shitty law doesn't get enforced, but it's so strange to me how a judge can just ban enforcement of a law. Is it. Even a law then
Laws can't conflict with the US Constitution, so if a law says that people with certain clothes aren't allowed to speak, then the judge can say that's not a real law.
It's the freedom of speech thing people seem to hate. Drag is a form of art and expression so there's a massive hurdle in trying to ban it. If they can't make it over the hurdle of the first amendment it is unenforceable as a law.
There are still sodomy laws on the books in some states that are entirely useless.
The party concerned about freedom is really concerned about controlling what people wear.
