Two bills have been introduced in this legislative session that have local drag queens taking a stand.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Two bills, SB1028 and SB1030, have been introduced during this legislative session that limit the freedom of drag performances to prevent sexually explicit performances from occurring in front of minors. Local drag queen Janae D’Vas shared her perspective of the bill early February as word first started getting out.
Since then, the proposed bills have passed through several chambers. The drag queen community has also been threatened for their performances and story times, causing events like last week’s Drag Queen Story Hour to be postponed. “We have the ability to express and give people that security to know, ‘hey you’re not alone and you’re not alone in this community, look at all of us.” And now we’re here to be that example,” said Alvarez.
“They’re really targeting the trans community, but they’re making it a collective with all the entertainers as well. So they’re targeting the drag queens and drag queens, and any other entertainer that dresses outside of the gender specified at birth and making that illegal, which is really going after the trans community,” said Moore.“They’re just deflecting from what’s really real and that is to save our children from being shot in schools.
