1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,800
I see these deceptive headlines everywhere
that oh Tennessee and

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,120
Texas pass laws restricting drag shows.

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,280
No, men can dress up in dresses, and men can

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,360
go get naked dressed up like women at bars or

5
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,320
wherever they want.

6
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:11,760
You just can't do it with two year olds and

7
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,360
then shake your penis in their face.

8
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:14,480
Okay, wait, hold on, hold on.

9
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,400
Before we get to the whole two-year-old thing,
uh the

10
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,800
first accusation about these headlines being
deceptive, no, they are

11
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:19,200
not.

12
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,080
There are attempts to outlaw all drag, even
fully clothed

13
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:23,200
drag here in Texas.

14
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,000
Let me show you.

15
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,480
This is HB 643, a bill built by Jared
Patterson,

16
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,000
and this bill will say that any business of
any

17
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,680
kind that has any type of drag show, even if

18
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,240
they're fully clothed, to be labeled as a
sexually oriented

19
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,560
business, meaning that they get held to the
higher standards

20
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,560
of that of a full-blown strict So let's go
over

21
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,240
the actual contents of the bill real quick,
because make

22
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,800
no mistake, this bill wants to say that the
definition

23
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,520
of the word nude is not just entirely someone
unclothed.

24
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,040
No, it also means provides an audience of drag
performances.

25
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,280
Because drag performance in this context means
a performer that

26
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,760
exhibits a gender identity that is different
than the performer's

27
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,520
gender assigned at birth.

28
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,880
That can be very vague.

29
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,200
But the real eye-opener here is that this
definition has

30
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,040
nothing to do with how much you are covered or

31
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,160
how much skin you are showing.

32
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,240
This bill by Jared Patterson will make it so
that

33
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,320
any business that has any drag show of any
kind,

34
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:06,160
even if they're fully clothed, will be labeled
as a

35
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,040
sexually oriented business and get held to the
same standards

36
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,840
of what was previously defined as a sexually
oriented business,

37
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,800
which of course is simply a sex parlor, a nude

38
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,680
studio, nude modeling studio, a love parlor,
adult bookstore, adult

39
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,280
movie theater, adult video arcade.

40
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,000
You get the idea.

41
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:22,800
So just one more time.

42
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,600
When even Alex Jones from InfoWars tries to
say No,

43
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,440
men can dress up in dresses.

44
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,920
No, actually, even that is under attack here
in Texas.
