The Post Millennial is reporting that the Hamilton County Conservatives, from Hamilton County, Tennessee, have launched a petition to have a state law passed that requires that anyone who wants to see a drag show should be at least 18 years of age. From the Post Millennial:
A petition has been launched in Tennessee calling for drag shows in the state to have an age limit for attendees.
The group Hamilton County Conservatives issued a press release on October 6, demanding that drag shows have an age limit of 18 and over. The group is circulating a petition which they plan to present to the state’s legislature.
“This is not an anti-drag show idea. This is a pro-protect our children idea. Nobody is saying that they should not be allowed to have drag shows. We are just saying that until you are an adult, you should not be allowed to see them,” said Hamilton County Conservatives president Chris Widener.
“If we can make it work here in Tennessee, this would be a great law to pass across the country to protect the children of the United States,” said Widener.
Widener noted that several state legislators have expressed interest in making this proposed age limit a law, with the petition gaining support amongst Tennesseans, according to the group.
The petition has gained over 1,000 signatures as of Monday afternoon.
