The Texas law dubbed the “Drag Ban” that restricted “sexually oriented performances” in the presence of a child or on public property was ruled unconstitutional on Tuesday by a federal judge, who issued a permanent injunction barring state officials from enforcing it.
U.S. District Judge David Hittner said the law was “an unconstitutional restriction on speech,” and that it “violates the First Amendment as incorporated to Texas by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.”
