🚨The GOP supermajority came out with their 1st piece of legislation the day after election. The bill that was burning their fingers it was so important to TN families. Did they expand Medicaid? Address inflation? Solve the DCS crisis? No, they made #DragShows a felony. #NoHate
My team and I knocked 1,000’s of doors and made 1,000’s of calls for months before the election, not one person told us the problem the state needs to address is #DragShows. NOT ONE!
A lot were concerned about women’s bodily autonomy & access to abortion care. They talked about how much Paid Family Leave would help their family. They talked about being adamantly opposed to book banning, Charters, and vouchers. But no one said #DragShows presented a concern.
All the maga republicans want to do is distract with culture wars. They are firing up their base for 2024 on made up issues instead of coming to the table to solve problems that actually exist in our state now. Solving real problems is hard, so they distract with fake crises.
We have had #DragShows for decades. Why are they all of the sudden a concern? Go to them if you want, don’t go if it’s not for you-no one is forced. These 🤡🤡🤡 are going to make the town in #Footloose look like Las Vegas compared to TN.
The bill is so poorly written it will end all kinds of entertainment. No Shakespeare or other performances in the park, no dancing at concerts, no watching Ms. Doubtfire at Movies on the Square. These people want to spread hate & bigotry in our communities & we must call it out!
