A federal judge in Montana has temporarily blocked enforcement of a sweeping state law against drag performances days before one of the biggest Pride events in the state begins.
The temporary restraining order from US District Judge Brian Morris, who was appointed to the court by Barack Obama, argues that the law is undeniably an unconstitutional threat to speech that will “disproportionately harm not only drag performers, but any person who falls outside traditional gender and identity norms,” including transgender and Two-Spirit people.
