Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Tennessee's Drag Ban Law.

TL;DR Summary
A federal judge in Tennessee has temporarily halted the state's new law that criminalizes some drag performances, citing constitutional protections of freedom of speech. The law, which was set to take effect on Saturday, bans "adult cabaret entertainment" on public property or in locations where it could be viewed by a minor. Supporters say the law safeguards children against exposure to inappropriate entertainment, while opponents argue that it is unconstitutional and threatens the freedom of speech of drag performers.
