Drag-Banning Tennessee Guv Shrugs Off Old Drag Pic as a ‘Lighthearted Tradition’ - DailyBeast

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee is set to sign a bill that will make drag performances illegal in the state—a crime he may have committed in high school.

A photo emerged on Reddit over the weekend from the Franklin High Yearbook in 1977, where Lee attended, purportedly showing Lee dressed as a woman along with the caption “Hard Luck Woman.”

But that’s different, Lee’s office told The Daily Beast on Monday, saying that “lighthearted school traditions” shouldn’t be “conflated” with the issue the state is banning.

1. Because, of course.

2. Did any children see him dressed as a woman? What's different?

3. As predicted

"It's fine and wholesome when we do it..."

This bill isn't about drag. It's about criminalizing trans existence and it is abhorrent. This type of bs will be coming to other states soon enough, just wait

7. I guess they would have banned the old Jack Benny shows...

Along with Milton Burle, "The Texaco Family Theater." Tell me old Tennesseans didn't watch that.

Gee, I guess some conservative Tennesseeians must be pretty insecure in their sexuality.
