Texas GOP tried to write antidrag law so it wouldn't be unconstitutional but Abbott just messed it up
"Civil rights lawyer Matthew Segal pointed to a recent tweet by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) that let the cat out of the bag on the recently signed legislation to ban drag queens from performing in public.
The bill targeted "sexually explicit performances in front of children." It doesn't mention drag queens, which made some wonder if the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders were about to be shut down.
Political consultant Luke Macias, who supports the bill, spoke out at a hearing before the bill was passed through committee. State Rep. Chris Turner (D-Grand Prairie) asked if the law would apply to NFL cheerleaders, the Fort-Worth Star Telegram reported at the time."
