Judge Parker Temporarily Blocks Tennessee Law Limiting Drag Performances, Citing Lack of Compelling Government Interest

A federal judge in Tennessee has temporarily blocked a law that would have placed strict limits on drag shows in the state, noting that the state has failed to provide a "compelling government interest" for why it should regulate drag performances so severely. The law was met with criticism from LGBTQ+ activists and allies, and the temporary restraining order issued by Judge Parker will remain in effect until April 15, when the court will hear arguments from both sides.
