A federal judge says Tennessee’s first-in-the-nation law designed to place strict limits on drag shows is unconstitutional.

A federal judge ruled a Tennessee law criminalizing drag show performances in certain public locations was unconstitutional Friday.

The law would have banned adult cabaret performances from public property or anywhere minors might be present.

Tennessee’s first-in-the-nation law designed to place strict limits on drag shows is unconstitutional, a federal judge says.

Initially, the complaint listed Republican Gov. Bill Lee, Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti and Shelby County District Attorney General Steven Mulroy as defendants, but the plaintiffs later agreed to dismiss the governor and top legal chief — though Skrmetti continued to represent Mulroy for this case.
