A federal judge once again ruled that Texas’ ban on some drag performances in public is “facially overbroad” and “unconstitutionally vague.”

    Love that the governor’s own stupid posts were effectively used against him in a court of law. I expect reversal from SCOTUS for convoluted reasons.

    “Drag has always been a form of free expression, and it is a relief that the court recognized that today,” Bandit said in a statement. “We use our performances to assert liberation, power, and joy with our community. As a lifelong Texan, I’m sick of this state trying to censor art and stoke hatred and violence against drag artists and the LGBTQIA+ community. No one should be punished for performing drag."

    Is “facially overbroad” supposed to be some sort of anti-transfem slur?
