The federal judge, who cited Dolly Parton in his ruling, found that the state law violated the First Amendment.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the people who are pushing for this type of legislation or rules have a deep seated homoerotic side to them.
I always found drag to be weird and “not my bag, baby!”. But what’s even weirder is a corrupt politician thinking he can tell citizens what they can wear, how much (or if any) makeup they can use, or who they can sleep with.
But hey, you can shoot people through closed doors in other states and use Texas as your escape route to Mexico as a fugitive – Abbott won’t extradite criminals so long as your heinous crime was committed in a blue state. Extraditions only happen for members of certain political parties…
In 2015, Paxton was indicted on state securities fraud charges relating to activities before taking office;[3] he pleaded not guilty. After Paxton fulfilled a pretrial agreement for restitution to the victims, ethics training, and community service, the charges were dismissed in 2025. In May 2023, Paxton was impeached by the Texas House of Representatives by a vote of 121–23, leading to his suspension.[4] The articles of impeachment included allegations that Paxton gave preferential treatment to a political donor who bribed him, misapplied public resources and made false statements against whistleblowers, obstructed justice in the securities fraud trial against him, and made false statements regarding his financial interests.[5][6][7] In September 2023, the Texas Senate voted 16–14 to acquit Paxton of all articles of impeachment, ending his suspension from office.[8][9]
On July 28, 2015, a state grand jury indicted Paxton on three criminal charges:[271] two counts of securities fraud (a first-degree felony) and one count of failing to register with state securities regulators (a third-degree felony).[272][273] Paxton’s indictment marked the first such criminal indictment of a Texas attorney general in thirty-two years since Texas attorney general Jim Mattox was indicted for bribery in 1983.[274] The complainants in the case are Joel Hochberg, a Florida businessman, and Byron Cook, a Republican and former member of the Texas House of Representatives.[275][276] Paxton and Cook were former friends and roommates while serving together in the Texas House.[276] Three special prosecutors were trying the state’s case.[277]

Sounds like a republican presidential candidate.
Certain kinds of law proposals, when struck down, should result in jail time for those who signed the proposal. Trying to make arbitrary clothing or movement illegal is one of those things.
It’s amazing that anybody would waste time trying to ban this or think a ban could withstand the inevitable challenge.
Reminds me of that one South Park episode.
“If you don’t like America you can get out.”
Leeja and Vaush apparently have.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone appeared to be fans of Dubya Bush, whose ineptitude made Trump’s election in 2016 more possible.
Does this only apply to Texas, because Ohio has a similar thing the are doing “for the children”
Fucking good.
Free speech motherfuckers! It’s a double edged sword, but by fuck does it have both edges
Ah Texas, the hypocrite state. Uphold the rights of all, until they don’t like something that falls under those rights.
Free speech much?
Rich conservatives have so much time on their hands they made a hobby out of being a nuisance to others.
Yeeaaaayyyyyy!!!
US law can be so stupid sometimes, depending so much on having an adult in the room because of all the focus in tradition and precedent and so little on expertise, which makes it so vulnerable to personal biases.
