Frisco Rep. Jared Patterson wants to go a step further, making businesses change their classification to a sexually oriented business.If you want to host an explicit drag show at your business, then you need to be able to do that. But you shouldn’t be allowed to have kids there and you should not be able to have the same organization as any other business that is not having explicit shows at your business.
So why not just say no children at drag shows? Why make a business who may do it once a month totally change what their business is classified as? We will see where this ends up in the session, but what I will tell you is there are certain reasons why we have regulations around sexually oriented businesses where you can’t be near a school or near a museum, certain things like that in certain communities.
Why is that even controversial?
Call DCF on Drag shows that allow any child under 18 to attend becsuse it is child abuse.
Definitely going to be bad news for GeneforTexas and the TheDemocrats
It’s about time someone stands up for these children.
Great! That's adult only entertainment, like strippers.
They should get George Santos down here as a consultant
The parent that puts a child in a show like that should be charged with child abuse in the first degree.
The problem is snowflake politicians like JaredLPatterson
Yea …ban those shows. Go over seas and corrupt there children.. see how that works out for y’all …
Is this even a thing? Will CPS take my Mrs. Doubtfire? This is a damn stupid thing to hang your hat on. This is why RNC loves MAGA. They'll fall for all the BS put before them.
SickoftheSwamp Start by arresting the parents ✅
Texas Government, especially the Texas GOP -“drag is bad,but we don’t care about those killed unjustly by police, how is it these mass shooters are getting guns, and children killed. But seriously we hate drag.” This move is going to save so many lives. How fucking brave of him.

johnnyk20001 Good
YES
Silly rabbit, they want to bad the profile drag shows from having access to children without parental consent. “News”?
The problem isn't drag shows:
So why does Jared think about drag as sex lol hmmm
We need to control weapons NOGUNS. Drags are not sexualy orienting no one!!! If someone is born gay, they will be gay for ever and we have to Include and respect them!
Send CPS to every homes where parent brings children. First you have to clean house in CPS of the wokesters. Let's get this bill passed.
Any parent that allows their kid to go to a drag show needs to take deep look into theirselves.
What would Cpl. Klinger of M.A.S.H. fame say about this?
Good.
👍👍👍
👏👏
Yes.
Why on earth do people want to expose children to a bunch of mentally, unstable freaks! Who on earth would trust have their children around this typeof thing?
JaredLPatterson So what’s a drag show? What about traditional Shakespearian theatrical performances? How about men in Kilts? How will that stand up against the 1st Amendment?
Lol. The GOP is a joke. There are SO many other issues to focus on (*psst!* like education) than children at drag shows 🙄
Republicans only want to focus on imaginary problems. They have no platform and are unable to address the real issues such as the cost of electricity, access to healthcare, minimum wage, crumbling infrastructure, etc.
JaredLPatterson Will you be adding churches to the list of sex oriented businesses? You can’t tell us of any kids harmed at a drag show, but guaranteed a church within a mile of you has had it happen.
Yep
Oh my god Texas has much bigger problems then drag shows. The only people that have gotten hurt are patrons by men with guns.
The Texas GOP now want to tell businesses how to run their business? The businesses should tell the Texas GOP to get bent. Also, if I want take my 4 yr old to Drag Queen story hour, that is my choice as a parent. It’s none of the Texas GOP business.
Sorry, don’t trust this guy to do what he says he will. Rino
It amazes me how this was ever accepted as something ok….it’s not.
JaredLPatterson Why do Republicans hate freedom? Mind your own business. I will take my kid to a drag show if I want to. Parents rights, huh?
Republicans doing what they do best, fixing non existent problems, while ignoring the ones that do exist 🙄
This is what they are choosing to put their time and energy at?! Are they serious!
Does this ban them from Hooters also?
GovAbbott PLEASE pass this!
Our CPS/foster care system is broken, but, drag shows...

Can anyone give specifics as to what is so sexual about a drag show? Because from my research it’s literally just people in opposite sex clothing doing skits, comedy and dancing. What exactly am I missing?
Yes!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The takeaway here, Republicans are saying they/govnmnt have more acumen when it comes to protecting a child's mind than the parents So not only is govmnt more adept at telling women what to do with their own bodies Now they also need to take control to preserve children's minds😳
I wasn’t aware children go to drag shows….and is hooters and places like that considered a sexually oriented business? Because children go there.
Good! Yes! It should be illegal!!!
In fact, showing sexual anything to children is pedophilia. Arrest everyone involved.
Texas Republicans are fascinated by drag shows.
Good
I remember a time it was rap music that these people were claiming was evil.. Before that it was heavy metal music and video games. Rock & Roll music and comic books. There will always be something that these groups are up in arms about - and it will eventually be nothing.
KoskionFOX7 GOOD!
