The state of Florida has introduced a bill aimed at prohibiting anyone under the age of 18 from attending drag performances. As reported by the New Republic, lawmakers in the state confirmed that the restrictions would make it illegal for high school students to attend live performances of popular musicals like The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Hair.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show, according to the proposed Florida legislation, classifies as an "adult live performance." The umbrella term used in the bill applies to "any show, exhibition or other presentation in front of a live audience," that "depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or specific sexual activities," including "lewd conduct, or the lewd exposure of prosthetic or imitation genitals or breasts."
The bill is far-reaching and, despite its attempt at clarification, vague. What the state of Florida deems offensive is not entirely clear, as the term is inherently subjective, but, according to lawmakers, The Rocky Horror Picture Show fits the bill. The punishments associated with a violation of the bill, however, are quite clear.
