A federal judge ruled Friday that law enforcement officials can’t use a Tennessee law that strictly limits drag shows to interfere with a local Pride festival this weekend, favoring event organizers who sued after a district attorney warned he intends to enforce the new statute even after another federal judge ruled it unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Ronnie Greer in Knoxville granted a temporary restraining order that prevents District Attorney Ryan Desmond and other local law enforcement officials from enforcing the state law or interfering with the Blount County Pride festival scheduled for Saturday. That includes no discouraging of third parties from hosting or modifying the event, including the venue of Maryville College, the judge wrote.
get fucked fascists.
This is a First Amendment violation, Republicans. You assholes are always whining about being cancelled by private businesses, but are perfectly happy to “cancel” anything they think is too “woke.”
If the GOP didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any at all.
They go on and on about the first amendment, moan about private businesses even treading near to their first amendment right, but yet they’re more than happy to curbstomp everybody else’s they disagree with. Dirty bigoted hypocrites.
