But Bacon’s accounts also were inundated with angry and inflammatory comments about the need for laws, such as the recently passed bill in Tennessee, to “protect children” from drag performers, who people said are trying to “groom” children by exposing them to sexually explicit performances. Some accused Bacon of being a “groomer” himself, while others said they didn’t need to hear from more “woke” celebrities and declared that they would stop watching the couple’s movies or TV shows.
The law was supposed to go into effect April 1 but was temporarily blocked by a federal judge who sided with a Memphis-based theater troupe, who filed a lawsuit claiming that the statute violates the First Amendment, Politico reported. U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker said Tennessee failed to make a compelling argument as to why the state needed the new law, adding that the statute also appears to be vague and overly broad.
Gill-Peterson also suggested that these laws could take America back to the 19th century when jurisdictions, including San Francisco, passed legislation that banned someone from being out in public if they were wearing clothing that was different from the sex they were assigned at birth.
