A Texas law regulating drag shows in the presence of minors has been upheld by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, allowing its enforcement after a previous lower court injunction was lifted.
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Texas can enforce a law that restricts drag shows in public places attended by minors, overturning an earlier lower court decision that had prevented the law from being enforced. The appellate ruling aligns with a previous decision made in November, indicating that only one of the plaintiffs in the case had sufficient standing to challenge the law. The court ordered the lower court to review the remaining claims concerning the First Amendment rights of the plaintiff.
