HAPPENING NOW: Senate takes up debate on bill to restrict, and at times criminalize, drag shows in Texas.

Background: dallasnews.com/news/politics/… #txlege #LGBTQ #LGBT #SB12
Bill author @SenBryanHughes says his legislation is just about protecting children from "sexually explicit performances."

But, his bill would also make it a crime for a man presenting as a woman (and vice versa) to perform a "prurient" event "on public property."
