TENNESSEE — RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars winner Trixie Mattel speaks out against drag bans in a new YouTube video.
“None of this should be about whether or not drag is something everyone should like,” Mattel says. “It shouldn’t be about whether or not drag is something everyone even accepts. It should be about whether or not something is really about protecting anyone. Not just children. Anyone.” The Tennessee legislation, signed into law by Republican Gov. Bill Lee this month, redefines “male and female impersonators” as adult cabaret performers and bans “adult-oriented performances that are harmful to minors.” Drag performances could not take place on public property or in venues accessible to minors. The first violation is a misdemeanor offense, the second one a felony.
“People act like drag queens march into their living rooms and force children to watch lip-synching,” Mattel goes on. “That is not happening. You’ll never accidentally walk into a drag show. I go to gay bars and I never accidentally see drag shows.”
