Drag shows are being targeted across the country - through legislation. From Texas to Tennessee the goal is to end the shows because of a fear they’ll negatively impact children. However, the LGBTQ+ community says it’s all an attack on self-expression, essentially telling those who dress in drag it’s “illegal to be an artist.” This week, a Real Talk on drag queens, hearing directly from those impacted by legislation being passed across the country.
