1/ Short 🧵 on anti-#drag efforts in Texas:
The Senate passed a bill this month that is pitched as a way to protect kids from explicit drag shows.
But legal experts said it would criminalize everything from dirty dancing to #LGBTQ Pride parades.

2/ The lawyers identified 4 areas of concern: The bill includes vague descriptions of new crimes, specifically targets people “exhibiting” as the opposite sex, is overly broad in its definitions of “sexually oriented” and lacks discussion of an alleged scofflaw's intent. #txlege
3/ How could this suss out in the real world?
The bill criminalizes "real or simulated" groping of the butt, which the lawyers said could land performers and venues in hot water if dancing crosses is "prurient" content and is in front of a minor.

I'm going to use this as a thread on "fun" stuff within the Omnibus appropriations bill. Where to begin?
First, this bill is 4,155 pages long & was released after #Midnight. It's disgusting how Swamp legislators will not even attempt to read the bill's details. 1/

Nancy Pelosi said it best: We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it.
But before the bill passes, I'm going to highlight some things I think are of note or that I think are interesting.

👇🏻 A great example of the manipulation of language to gain access to children. #dragqueen #storytelling #children #safeguarding #SafetyFirst
What is a "rich experience"? I do believe they are 'story telling'. What does "interactive" mean? An 'understanding of different communities' is used to manipulate, as is 'can reduce inequality'. A healthy positive start in life for children is one withOUT sexualization 
Note how they use language & words to make the audience believe that teaching them about drag, etc. gives children a 'positive start' in life. This is manipulation. Exposing children to drag is going to 'reduce inequality' or normalise drag? #linguistics #questions #manipulation
