The New Republic: Florida law may ban Rocky Horror
When I was told this by a friend, I was incredulous, as I am about anything that conveniently fits the narrative.
Florida Republicans are pushing forward a bill that seeks to ban drag shows from allowing someone under the age of 18 to be in attendance.
As I’ve said elsewhere, the legislature shouldn’t have to pass a law to discourage perverted sex clowns from putting on performances aimed at children, but parents will protect children.
The bill defines “adult live performance” to include “any show, exhibition or other presentation in front of a live audience,” that in any form “depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or specific sexual activities,” such as “lewd conduct, or the lewd exposure of prosthetic or imitation genitals or breasts.”
Yes, that would appear to ban The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the play, Hair. Parents should not have been pushed this far. They don’t care about collateral damage. It’s a shame that it’s come to this, but it has.
