Tennessee drag ban temporarily halted by judge.

TL;DR Summary
A federal judge in Memphis, Tennessee, has temporarily blocked a law restricting drag performances in public from going into effect, saying it was likely "vague and overly-broad" in its restriction of speech. The bill aimed to restrict drag performances in public or in front of children, putting the state at the forefront of a Republican-led effort to limit drag in at least 15 states in recent months. The judge said the state had failed to justify with a compelling interest the restrictions it aimed to impose.
