The men who wore skants in season 1 might now be an important legal precedent for your right to wear them in Ohio?

Ohio's new anti-drag law could arguably require fan conventions, etc., to be licensed as a cabaret?

Per the Ohio Capitol Journal:

The bill would prohibit an adult cabaret performance from taking place outside an adult cabaret.

It also broadens the definition of adult cabaret performances to include “performers or entertainers who exhibit a gender identity that is different from the performer’s or entertainer’s gender assigned at birth using clothing, makeup, prosthetic or imitation genitals or breasts, or other physical markers.”

The bill lumps drag performers in with topless dancers, go-go dancers, strippers, and exotic dancers.

It has a specific carve-out to say that it wouldn’t “prohibit or restrict a bona fide film, theatrical, or other artistic endeavor or performance that is not obscene or harmful to juveniles.”

Also, thanks to Riker for giving me the right to wear sparkly harem jammies without such a license?
