bused’ his discretionThe Ohio Supreme Court has blocked a Central Ohio community's planned Nov. 7 vote on an ordinance that would ban public drag shows within city limits. COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Supreme Court has blocked a planned November vote in a Central Ohio community that would have asked residents to ban public drag shows within city limits.
Specifically, the ordinance’s backers, after collecting hundreds of voter signatures on state-mandated petitions, switched the petitions’ cover page before submitting them to elections officials. The ruling said this violated state law, which says the “text” and “title” of a petition signed by voters seeking a ballot issue must be the same as the petition submitted to elections officials.
The measure would have classified any drag performance in city limits as an “adult cabaret performance,” and regulated them in a manner similar to strip clubs by banning them from public spaces or any other location “viewable by a minor.” The proposed drag show ban was similarand would have been the first by an Ohio community.
LaRose had argued the switch was legally insignificant, ruling that the new ordinance language was a “header” rather than the measure’s “title.” LaRose argued a different part of the petition that described the measure as reclassifying drag artists and drag shows as an “Adult Cabaret Performance” was actually the measure’s title.
