Legislation that’s been referred to as a “drag show” bill easily passed out of the Kentucky Senate Friday. Bill Sponsor Lindsey Tichenor of Smithfield characterized the measure as intended to restrict performances of an adult nature to adults. Among other things, it prohibits male and female impersonators from providing entertainment that appeals to a salacious interest. Tichenor said the prohibition would pertain to public settings where minors might be.
“Counties across the state are seeing more and more events that in the past were held before adult audiences, but now are being introduced to the general public as appropriate for all ages under the guise of inclusivity,” said Tichenor.
