Good for her and the other queens for doing the show anyway. And good for Play for putting this on and not being intimidated.
If you are in Nashville, Play is a great spot! They hosted our friends’ bachelor/bachelor party there and the whole house was rocking.

These laws are nuts. I hope someone challenges and takes it up to the Supreme Court if necessary. They are totally wrong, and completely unconstitutional. How do you even define drag anyway? Wearing the wrong color scarf? Can you get arrested if your jacket has buttons on the wrong side? It’s just insane.

Hopefully with a Supreme Court that isn’t being bought and paid for by billionaires

Nashvillian here, and I’m glad your friends’ party was great!
Also this is the sort of thing that gives me some pride in being from Nashville. There’s a lot the Tennessee legislature has done that’s not just embarrassing but harmful–including surprise cuts to HIV prevention programs–but Nashville has a strong and active LGBTQ community, and that community has a lot of allies.

Those are called robes, and what’s wrong with men in dresses anyway?

Nothing, obviously. That’s the point.

We’d been there a few times, and they were regulars, so it was a natural place for it. And Pride, next door, was also a great place to hang out.

Yet those men wear robes, and you ain’t helping.
