AUSTIN, Texas — A North Texas lawmaker who authored a bill to restrict drag shows wore a dress for a school project as a teenager, according to a video that surfaced on social media this week.
State Rep. Nate Schatzline, a freshman Republican representing part of central and north Fort Worth, acknowledged he was in the video that surfaced on TikTok and Twitter. He described it as a “joke back in school for a theater project.”
“Yah, that’s not a sexually explicit drag show… lol y’all will twist ANYTHING,” he responded to a Twitter user who reposted the video Wednesday afternoon.
