A federal judge temporarily blocked Murfreesboro, Tennessee, officials from enforcing an ordinance that prohibits drag performances on public property.
A federal judge temporarily blocked a city in Tennessee from enforcing an ordinance that bans drag performances from happening on public property during an upcoming Pride festival. Chief U.S. District Court Judge Waverly Crenshaw Jr. ruled in an order issued Friday that Murfreesboro, Tennessee, officials are prohibited from enforcing the ordinance during the BoroPride Festival scheduled for next weekend.
The lawsuit claims the ordinance discriminates against the LGBTQ+ community and violates free speech protections granted by the First Amendment. The ACLU alleges that the order 'confirms that the community's free speech rights will be protected at the BoroPride Festival,' as litigation over the city ordinance continues.
Conservative activists have said that the drag performances at the 2022 Pride event resulted in the 'sexualization of kids.' The equality project contends that the performers were fully clothed and denied accusations that the shows were inappropriate for children.
