Just four days after a federal judge ruled a Tennessee law restricting drag shows was unconstitutional, attorney Brice Timmons was in an Orlando, Florida, courtroom describing how a new Florida law was causing Hamburger Mary’s to censure its drag shows.
Timmons, a civil rights attorney with Memphis-based Donati Law, represented the Friends of George’s theater company in the Tennessee case, fighting a law that prohibited “adult cabaret” from taking place on public property or where children could see it.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker, appointed by President Donald Trump, ruled June 2 the Tennessee law was an unconstitutional restriction on freedom of speech.
