Two Ohio lawmakers have introduced legislation that would ban drag performers from working in public, with children or teens and anywhere that isn't designated as an adult entertainment facility.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two Ohio Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation that would ban drag performers from working in public, with children or teens and anywhere that isn't designated as an adult entertainment facility.
It was introduced by state Reps. Angie King , Josh Williams and is co-sponsored by 41 other Republican House members. People found guilty of performing in the presence of someone under 18 would get a misdemeanor of the first degree. If the performance involved is obscene, a violation is a felony of the fifth degree. It is unclear what this means since all drag performing would be considered obscene under the proposed law.
