Love that the governor's own stupid posts were effectively used against him in a court of law. I expect reversal from SCOTUS for convoluted reasons.

The founding fathers never intended for social media to be a factor, and so it is inadmissible.
The law, Senate Bill 12, bans bars and other businesses from hosting sexually oriented performances
Vague, indeed.
Are drag shows sexually oriented?
I have no idea. That's the point. What does that even mean?
My parents took me as a teen and my child siblings to a drag performance once.
There was definitely a “sexual” nature to it. But nothing i hadn’t seen literally everywhere else in the performance industry from pop stars to circuses, even cartoons, many commercials. Sex appeal is and always has been everywhere.
They just looked like generic women dancers to me. Mildly interesting, mildly boring.
Well strippers would be the first to go.
Nah, anything Christian would be first. All about impregnation by a god, sexually explicit text, obsession with women’s sexuality, strangers’ genitals, covering up rape…
Is "facially overbroad" supposed to be some sort of anti-transfem slur?
