The House Committee on State Affairs hears debate on a bill that once banned children from drag shows but has been amended to bar them from any performances...

Prohibited behaviors include actual or simulated groping, actual or simulated arousal and display of a sex toy, if done in a “prurient” manner — a term the bill does not define — regardless of whether someone is in drag. Performers could get slapped with a class A misdemeanor and the business hosting them would be subject to a $10,000 civil penalty per violation.

“Children are sufficiently protected from being sexualized without this reference to drag shows,” he said as he introduced the bill.Opponents welcomed the change, but said the legislation has already put a target on the backs of drag performers and LGBTQ people. After testifying, Rep. Rafael Anchia asked if she could provide him with a list of drag shows in the Dallas area that allow minors to attend.

Neidert responded, “That’s disgusting.” The crowd chuckled, after which Hunter reminded Neidert and those watching to maintain decorum.
