    Originally billed as legislation that would prevent children from seeing drag shows, SB 12 eventually landed on language that doesn’t directly reference people dressing as the opposite gender. Instead the legislation prohibits any performers from dancing suggestively or wearing certain prosthetics in front of children.

    I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me the law doesn’t prohibit merely wearing certain prosthetics.

    Sec. 43.28. CERTAIN SEXUALLY ORIENTED PERFORMANCES PROHIBITED. (a) In this section: (1) “Sexual conduct” means: … (E) the exhibition of sexual gesticulations using accessories or prosthetics that exaggerate male or female sexual characteristics.

    Good luck overturning it. We got too many bullshit laws.
