He can take them to drag conventions and then post the evidence, post pictures and videos of criminal sexual conduct … and somehow not end up in jail, or better yet, the gallows.

Because, Stupid Peters, those things are not against the law.

I know, I know, you conservatives have a real hard time with that concept.

I mean, taking a kid to a drag show is illegal in TN, right now. The GOP is actively working to make these things illegal.

Does the law say "drag show" or does it say something like "performance of a sexual nature" which the GOP is intentionally conflating with drag shows?

male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, or similar entertainers, regardless of whether or not performed for consideration
