Cynthia Lee Fontaine Instagram – @aclutx sued the Texas Attorney General and other defendants Wednesday to block the drag ban law, Senate Bill 12, from taking effect September 1. The organization represents plaintiffs The Woodlands Pride; Abilene Pride Alliance; Extragrams, LLC; 360 Queen Entertainment LLC; and Brigitte Bandit. B. 12 is an unconstitutional law that violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments and threatens the livelihood and free expression of many Texans, including drag performers. The ban targets any performance that could be perceived as “sexual” and proposes criminal penalties, including up to a year in jail, for artists and others who support them. Simple : We will NOT be silenced ! This goes against our rights ! To the Governor of Texas , lawmakers and senators who support this , we will fight back ! Please support @aclutx and please continue supporting Drag Performers ! #fyp #dragqueen #governoroftexas #humanrights #rupaulsdragrace
