PHOENIX — Over the objections of Democrats, all 16 Republican state senators approved two measures Thursday that proponents say are designed to outlaw “drag shows” that can be seen by children — even as neither measure actually uses those words.
And they do that by expanding the scope of what kinds of performances must be regulated.
SB 1028 would create a new category in law of “adult cabaret performance.” More to the point, it would prohibit these on public property or in any location that someone knows or has reason to know it could be viewed by a minor.
