Tennessee’s prohibition In the drag shows when the children are present, they will remain in force, since the Supreme Court at the beginning of this week refused to listen to a challenge to the law presented by a drag performance group, a movement that the State Republican Attorney of the State announced as “another great victory for Tennessee.”
The State Adult Entertainment Law, approved in 2023, does not allow “adult -oriented actions” in public spaces, or anywhere where children can see them.
“Freedom of expression is an American sacred value, but the first amendment does not require that Tennessee allows sexually explicit actions in front of children,” Tennessee’s attorney general, Jonathan Skrmetti, said in a publication about X. “We will continue to defend the law and children of TN.”
A federal judge He ruled that the law, which is specifically directed to resistance resistance, was “unconstitutionally vague and substantially excessive”, temporarily stopping the application. However, in July, the sixth Court of Appeals of the United States circuit reversed the decision, stating that the Memphis -based theater company that filed the lawsuit, Friends of George’s Inc., lacked position to challenge the law.
Another demand that challenges the prohibition presented by the American Union of Civil Libertads (ACLU) is still underway in the name of the Blount County, another LGBTQ+defense group, after the then general Aygo Ryan Desmond threatened to prosecute anyone who violated the prohibition during the predeaa 2023 festival.
Fox News Digital communicated with Friends of George’s Inc. and ACLU, but did not receive an answer for publication time.

The offenders who do not adhere to the adult entertainment law could be prosecuted for a minor crime of class A, while a second or third crime is a serious class E Crime. Both could result in fines and time in jail from 11 months to six years.
“I’m proud that Supreme Court of the United States He has confirmed another Tennessee law that protects our children. SB 3 ensures that Tennessee’s children are not exposed to sexually explicit entertainment, “the leader of the state’s Senate, Jack Johnson, Said in an X publication. Johnson was one of the sponsors of the bill in 2023.
The Supreme Court already has Another case In front of them brought by the aclu that challenges a Tennessee law that prohibits transgender medical treatments and procedures for minors.
In that case, the court is weighing if the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which guarantees equal treatment under the law for similar people, prevents states from prohibiting medical suppliers from offering puberty blockers and hormonal treatments to children seeking transgender surgical procedures.

Talking to Fox News Digital last month, Skrmetti expressed caution optimism of a favorable result.
“It seems that the impulse has really changed almost culturally on these issues. And when you see people trying to rewrite laws through judging creative, through creative regulation, which alienates people from the laws that unite them, and it is bad for the United States.”
“We know what the Supreme Court does when the Supreme Court does,” he added.
The Superior Court is expected to govern that case in June.
