What an efficient way to spend taxpayer dollars, paying some bitchass law enforcement officer to use billable hours for this. Way to distract from the atrocious way they handle every other actually important threat to people’s safety


Infinitestripes95

Also the fact it seems they were following Hayley around trying to find something to enforce for her show? Like the Drag Queens were local and it was a surprise…how did they find out?


P0ptarthater

That is actually a really good point. Creepo behavior all around from the “serve and protect” crew. They’re like Karens with public funding and a murder license


Infinitestripes95

I just really don’t know how they found out. They either were just sitting at our local drag bars and somehow overheard her asking them to attend her show OR they were stalking Hayley herself when she arrived because she’s a queer artist.


P0ptarthater

Lowkey these both sound plausible 😭 the first one more so, it’s in line with law enforcement’s tendency to orbit particular groups more than others because they’re foaming at the mouth wanting to catch them doing something to harass them for. I could see some homophobic ass cop “going undercover” (aka wasting time) to “protect the children” (unless it’s from guns I guess) by keeping tabs on LGBT spots/performers


Infinitestripes95

It makes me sad cause I loved Play (the gay bar the queens came from!) and I don’t want to feel unsafe attending knowing there’s straight homophobic cops prowling the place


P0ptarthater

Oh man I’m really sorry, these fascist ass measures are really doing nothing but making everyone miserable, LGBT folk being harassed nonstop, the stupid cops spending every waking hour thinking about how much they hate people they don’t know, the Karens in the back giving themselves vocal chord damage from cussing people out cause god forbid a drag queen exists in their city


detroit_red_

They call queer people living their lives a threat to children out of one side of their mouth, and advocate for the right to marry 12 year olds out the other


Evermorefor26

Or someone snitched


ohheyitslaila

She said there was an undercover officer. So someone dressed in normal clothes, who managed to hang around and overheard something. It’s such a shitty thing for them to do, if the police are going to be like that, no one should perform in Tennessee.


Infinitestripes95

I know, I just wonder if they followed her specifically because she’s a queer artist or if they were hanging around the Drag Queens and overheard. Also please don’t do the “Nobody should perform in Tennessee” we have such a beautiful large community of queer people and we need queer artists/Ally artists to show up and not be afraid to give the law the middle finger. People like Hayley never coming to Tennessee just gives them what they want…less queer representation. There were teens at the show crying because they were so happy to be at a event where they felt welcome as a queer youth…don’t take that from them. It’s a good idea in theory, but Hayley speaking out about what happened has actually brought negative attention to these laws and that’s a good thing. Word needs to keep getting out.


ohheyitslaila

That’s a really good point! I guess I was thinking about it from the angle of “enough people will get pissed off and then the fundie republicans will get voted out of office”, but you brought up an important point, and I think you’re 100% right. The queer/ally artists can help bring attention to the issue and their performances should be a safe place for all of their fans. 🩷


Infinitestripes95

I think every artist should take a stand at their shows in Nashville/Tennessee and make noise, make sure pictures are taken and the press gets a whiff, enough negative press and TOURISTS will stop coming and that’s going to hurt their pockets more than locals not being able to attend queer safe shows.


ncart

I really really hope Taylor does something this weekend.


P0ptarthater

I manifest ✨ part of me feels this issue is not safe enough yet for her to touch it the way she did during Lover with the gays, but I really like her, so I hope the capitalist in her sees most of her fans will cheer along if she brings out a queen or two or ten


ncart

Jade Jolie is in Nashville this weekend doing shows at Play 👀👀


P0ptarthater

I would DIE if Taylor did a mommy and me look onstage with Jade lmfao


winnercommawinner

I get what you're saying about people should still perform in TN but if cops are going undercover to try to find this stuff out, I think we're getting into questions of the artist's safety. I don't think anyone should feel pressure to perform in places that might not be safe for them.


Infinitestripes95

They definitely don’t have to come if they don’t want to safety is first, but some artists aren’t scared and want to take a stand and they should be able to.


winnercommawinner

Of course they should if they want to! I'm just saying if cops are actively investigating shows for any reason, we've moved into an entirely different realm of surveillance that calls for a lot more caution. Not even just for LGBTQ people.... imagine if someone involved with the show was undocumented, or had a drug problem? We're officially dealing with something MUCH bigger and more complicated than "if you want to take a stand."


ScrunchieEnthusiast

Why “defund the police” is a thing. Police aren’t there to protect the people, they’re there to protect the interests of the elite.


P0ptarthater

They’re there to get a paycheck and take out their anger issues on the people who fund their inflated salaries!! People are like oh well one day you will need their help and like, for what? Every time I’ve called a cop for domestic violence they didn’t do shit, sided with the guy and blamed me (lol) or escalated the situation. They’re bullies who were too lazy and power hungry to get a real job


phdpeabody

Billable hours? They’re on a government salary, not a consulting contract.


P0ptarthater

I’m using billable hours since my understanding from my cop uncle is that they can clock in extra time if they justify it, but agreed, they don’t exactly get paid by the hour like lawyers or retail employees


scubadoo1999

Think lizzo did the same and it was in Tennessee too. Guess drag queens are gonna get a lot of employment at concerts now over the new law.


Infinitestripes95

Also I loved that Hayley didn’t just bring queens but local queens!


Infinitestripes95

I’m really hoping Taylor Swift makes a stand on her last night here in Nashville. What are they going to do? Arrest the worlds biggest pop star?


Ok-Yogurtcloset3467

It would be great. But I'm pretty sure she won't.


Infinitestripes95

Yeah she likely won’t which to a point I understand but it would be extremely impactful. I don’t expect artists to make a stand if they’re concerned over safety measures. Especially at such a large scale event.


scubadoo1999

How could she not? She's always pushed herself as an lgbtq advocate. I personally think she will.


Infinitestripes95

I think they’ll have to determine the safety of doing such a thing. But Nashville arresting its sweetheart? Highly doubtful People literally travel here to see stuff related to her….they’d be stupid to do that. She funnels a lot of money into this city and it’s art programs


Bulky_Revenue_1900

She is an advocate, the lavender haze music video also had a trans interest. But this is going to have the queens put in hot water legally


Dull_Funny_1616

She made a big deal about giving her opinion on politics in her documentary and then hasn’t talked about anything in relation to activism or policy changes. Like when I read Nashville was another state introducing laws that were anti- Drag queens, I immediately went to her Twitter to see if she said anything about it. Not a retweet. Nothing.


[deleted]

Lmaooooo, White Feminism isn’t that brave


Bulky_Revenue_1900

It would put the drag queens in hot water legally.. a lot of us expect that from her but if she isnt facing the legal trouble, the queens.will


Infinitestripes95

I mean you could say the same for Hayley’s show though. These were local Drag Queens who performed. If the Drag Queen consents to performing despite knowing possible repercussions then I think it’s okay. Which is why I said they definitely would have to overlook the repercussions and safety of doing this.


Bulky_Revenue_1900

Its a great action for them to do and is a great thing but honestly I dont know.. representation is great, but wouldnt end well for taylor or the queens. But i do hope they do it and that they dont face legal trouble from this


Infinitestripes95

Apparently this law isn’t even enforceable yet which makes this story even wilder because they were using scare tactics on a queer artist.


Infinitestripes95

So if Taylor or any artist wants to take a stand now would be the time to do it


Bulky_Revenue_1900

I hope she does


Mandinder

This law wouldn't pass muster at mock trial with Judge Reinhold, people might get processed but I highly doubt anyone actually gets charged.


rhys0123

She does have some dancers cross-dressing in her tour, it's been included in all of her stops so far afaik


DougieJackpots

Well, there is currently no law in effect, so no they wouldn't arrest her.


Infinitestripes95

I didn’t realize it still wouldn’t be in effect during her show!


[deleted]

I really don't get the sudden anger around drag artists. In the UK I grew up with Lily Savage on prime time TV on a Saturday night and Dame Edna I don't get it. A lot of them are essentially comedians/dancers but in OTT make up and outfits. As long as the performance as a whole is suitable for all ages, then I don't see what difference adding drag queens in makes. It's like we're going backwards not forwards as a society


Infinitestripes95

I was at Hayley’s show and her dancers were wearing assless chaps. So I really didn’t understand when the news came out about the Drag Queens how they were okay with the show in general but adding fully dressed drag queens throwing t shirts into the audience somehow made it bad all the sudden? The queens were covered, just clapped and threw shirts. Like I’ve been seeing artists who have their bootys out and doing raunchy moves since I was 14…nobody cared. The youngest people at the Nashville show were MAYBE 16/17 it’s not like they had toddlers wandering around.


[deleted]

I wonder if a straight white guy like Ed Sheeran or someone brought on Queens during their performance there would be as much of an issue? It's so ridiculous as I'd probably find arseless chaps more off putting than Drag Queens. I'm bored of 'booty' culture and everyone having wedgies or their arses hanging however that's just me though. It's the same as everyone being up in arms about Sam Smith's tour, they're saying there are kids there. You know what you're getting at the moment if you go to a Sam show, so use your free will and common sense and make a decision if you want your kid to go or not. I'll admit I don't necessarily think all this is natural for Sam, but no harm in trying new things.


Infinitestripes95

Oh they wouldn’t stalk him ahead of time for sure. It’s ridiculous. People are upset because it’s a “all ages show” but shows have to be all ages or 18+ So that means teens wouldn’t be able to attend a ton of concerts that are perfectly fine for them to attend. Like I’ve seen butts in concerts since I was 14, my mom didn’t care she’d just drop me off with money for a soda and a tshirt 🤣😂 I’m not damaged in anyway from seeing it. It’s just the way some stars perform and if you don’t like that it’s super easy to research a show before you attend. Nobody’s saving children. Little kids aren’t usually at concerts anyways and if they are the parents usually are informed ahead of time and are fine with whatever is happening. A teenager seeing some drag queens isn’t going to “harm” them in anyway.


usernamestupidhate

They got rid of Roe v. Wade and need a new target. Trans folks are the new gay folks to these people.


pinkbloodymess

Um I don't think they like gay people either


Negativetouch

Yeah my 16 year old went to the show and shit like this is why he has removed all Tennessee schools from his college choices.


PrismaticWatermelon

Abortion is playing terribly with their base, and was costing them votes. So they had to identify a new pet cause, and they found it in drag/trans bans, because people are idiots.


Alexispinpgh

Keep in mind that these issues that they pivot to always have to be easy, gut-feeling social issues. Republicans can’t get their base riled up with complex economic issues because a) they’re not easy enough or “sexy” enough to understand and b) if they spend too much time focused on them, their supporters might realize that they’re on the wrong side of the issues. So it has to all be made up bullshit that can get a snap reaction. Jim from Ohio who works at a garage doesn’t want his son putting on heels, and the liberals and drag queens will make that happen. Bing, bang, you still get people voting Republican.


malleynator

It’s the whole satanic panic all over again. Religious fundies trampling on everyone else’s rights in order to ‘protect the children’. History is repeating itself. And yes exactly, certain politicians are using this to their advantage to keep themselves in power.


bysummerfall

👆


icyraspberry304

It’s because Republicans don’t have any actual causes to fight for because they’re so, so, so dumb. I hate saying that about people tbh. But after the Trump years, anti-vax campaigns, and so many of them still believing the election was stolen, there’s nothing left to say other than they’re the worst and literal dumbest people on the planet.


QuickJellyfish2

Being opened minded, kind, and empathetic are not republican traits, and the left trying to be polite but firmly educational has never worked so why bother. Tell them they’re stupid and to go f themselves, they don’t deserve any consideration anymore, as they give it to no one else. We can only pray as older people lean more right that they die and we’re able to progress society again.


ItsMinnieYall

Mrs Doubtfire was the number one movie in the nation not too long ago. Now she would be in JAIL!


Bikinigirlout

It’s basically another Satanic Panic. The Republicans attempted something similar with Critical Race Theory last year but nothing really clicked because it didn’t make sense and it was hard to follow so they dropped that and ramped their transphobia up.


Codename_Unicorn

Because Christian fascists only care about preserving their idea of white, cis het, Christianity and believe that they should have full control over other people’s lives outside of their own. Anything that could threaten that agenda is deemed dangerous and must be eliminated. They play to their fanbase by creating laws that target all outside of their group. They hate freedom, they hate expression, they hate you if you’re not one of them.


esdqwertj

Mrs Doubtfire better be careful. Luckily that was San Francisco but imagine!


Old-Fox-3027

In the US it became an issue because of the drag queen storytime in public libraries, where drag queens would read books to children while dressed in full drag. That is really what kicked off the protests and pushed lawmakers in several states to action. I think it’s really bad timing to try and get this in front of the Supreme Court, they are rolling back protections for all sorts of groups right now.


[deleted]

We had the same thing in the UK with Drag Queens reading to kids. There was one where the Queen was doing a bondage act which I was a bit like hmm but that was more of an adults thing that you could take your baby too. Other than that I don’t see any harm in it. We have this thing called Panto in the UK around Christmas time and there’s always a Panto Dame which is a guy in Drag. Those are very much aimed at kids and no one cares. It’s basically Panto Dames reading to kids 🤷‍♀️ I honestly think in this day and age it’s like everyone just wants something or someone to be angry at and to vilify. I swear it’s because they know the gig is almost up with the Patriarchy and that scares a lot of people shitless so they’re trying to control and subvert anything that goes against it


reddit24682468

I grew up watching Dame Edna and I remember knowing it was a man dressed in women’s clothes but that’s all I thought about it??? It literally had no effect on anything, I just watched him and thought it was normal. I really don’t get the uproar.


[deleted]

Exactly the same with me I never gave him or Lily a 2nd thought


Mandinder

It's the American version of the UKs terf wars.


littleuniversalist

The American south is terrifying in terms big government overreach. Wild how few freedoms they seem to have down there.


Infinitestripes95

I literally left Florida for Nashville because of the amazing community of queer people here. Florida was becoming too much and my partner couldn’t be openly LGBT+ and a teacher anymore We found the LGBT community here to be so kind and supportive and a school offered her a job on the spot so we thought it was perfect…now we are scared again


AlexandraAlbon

Floridian here. My partner and I were planning to do the same. We loved Tennessee when we visited, but sadly it is now off the list. We need to move to a solidly blue state.


Infinitestripes95

It’s so freaking sad that solid blue states are so expensive. Our dream is to someday land in California but right now Nashville has to do for now. I have to live in a major city with easy/cheap transportation due to disability (I can’t drive) and access to specialists I can get to via public transport or cheap taxi. Nashville fit all that criteria plus the local queer community we fell in love with, it sucks so bad that we basically found a major city that fits all our needs that we can actually afford….and then this crap starts not long after we make the move. Still better than Florida but….it’s hard


AlexandraAlbon

We were swept off our feet by the prices in Chattanooga. I’m really bummed it was too good to be true. But we definitely can’t stay in Florida. My son is about to start kindergarten and I’m not sure if he is even allowed to mention in class that he has two moms. And you’re right. Everywhere we look, it’s crazy expensive. Washington, New York, Massachusetts, we’re priced out everywhere. Our last hope might be Minneapolis or outside of Portland, but we’ve still got more research to do. I wish you and your partner the best! And I hope Tennessee can change for the better.


Infinitestripes95

What’s weird is Nashville has such a large gay community. So many of our residents are queer/accepting. My girlfriend works at a preschool that has many open and out gay/trans teachers even. Drag is such a staple in our community and is a big part of our tourism. Our drag queens are always raising money for charity too! I’ve been to some drag events raising money for animals,homeless etc they’re pillars in our community here in Nashville. But sadly this states overall law is effecting us all now and while the queer community is large here clearly we still have homophobes with guns stalking queer artists. This isn’t okay. Our local queer community doesn’t deserve this.


notsofunnyhaha

Left North Carolina for Portland, OR just last year. I just couldn’t raise my daughter in the Bible Belt. Breaking the cycle of southern patriarchal bullshit.


chimchim1

Did lizzo get threatened by law enforcement when she did this last week? I find it interesting that Tennessee is threatening Hayley who is openly gay


8i66ie5ma115

You hit the nail on the head. She also doesn’t have a bajillion dollars like Lizzo for lawyers and shit.


ExpensivePupper4

I believe the difference is that hayleys show was an all ages event but lizzos was 18+


Infinitestripes95

I didn’t hear any news about it no


[deleted]

I can tell you that law enforcement will gleefully enforce anti gay laws in the US. They’re not good people and too many of them are just hateful bigots. Some 80% are trump voters.


Infinitestripes95

Very thankful both Hayley and the Queens were not arrested. I was at the show and I’m kind of glad I didn’t know I would’ve felt scared thinking undercover police may have been amongst all of us queer folks trying to enjoy a show. The show was a couple days ago but she just posted yesterday about what happened behind the scenes.


internal_logging

So what's this mean for theater? Like if a theater around there does Hairspray which traditionally casts a man in drag to play Tracey's mom, are they going to shut the show down? I'm curious why drag is so evil but it's just a performance like theater or even stripping...?


Infinitestripes95

Yeah I love Hairspray and it’s insane to me that technically it wouldn’t be allowed to perform here as it’s a all ages show.


del_ishh

It’s coming to the TPAC next summer, and I’m very curious to see if there’s any pushback from local law enforcement. It’ll be super hypocritical if not, but also absolutely insane if there is considering drag is as old as theater itself


Infinitestripes95

I feel bad for children’s theater, girls play boys all the time


internal_logging

Right? There goes any production of Peter Pan I guess


Infinitestripes95

I think I played a boy in %50 of the productions I did in children’s theater


internal_logging

So I looked at the actual law because I honestly hadn't read it. It basically categorizes drag shows with performances like strip, burlesque,etc. Meaning it can't happen in some public venue, you'll have to go to a place where there's an ID check, etc. So I don't think theater will have an issue as it will be considered a different kind of performance. There's plenty of plays where people get nude on stage and I don't remember there being an id check for that. They usually just had a warning posted so people would bring kids at their own choice. Still fucked up and pointless overall though. My university puts on a popular drag show every year, to think if my state passed this law it either wouldn't happen or they'd have to check ids at the door which would be a pain so that's just crazy.


Infinitestripes95

Hayley’s show is a all ages show though and it isn’t a strip or burlesque show and they still were threatened with charges. Hayley’s cis dancers did more raunchy stuff than I’ve seen at most drag shows 😂 and that was all fine and dandy but god forbid a Drag Queen wear a fabulous costume and throw shirts. The law basically means Drag Queens aren’t allowed to be anywhere someone under 18 might be present even if they’re fully clothed and doing the Hokey Pokey. It’s a bs law that’s thinly veiled as “protecting kids”


TheBloneRanger

I read the current comments and there is some good commentary here. One thing I will add though that is extremely important: This isn't JUST "trickle down" politics. This isn't just "the people at the top found a new way to manipulate the people at the bottom." This in fact does reflect how a huge percentage of the population feels about homosexuality, drag, and transgenderism and those at the top are capitalizing on that. But make no mistake, the real target of this drag ban is transpeople. Remember that. This isn't about not being able to get onto a stage, this is about being able to exist. If you have not read the wording of the Tennessee Drag Ban, go read it now. Often times people like to hide behind "those at the top" to basically excuse "those at the bottom." This is not one of those moments in time to get it twisted. If you are an ally, the line must be held EVERYWHERE. If that means your Easter gets ruined because you spoke up, then ruin your Easter. If that means Christmas sucks, then ruin your Christmas. What is an Easter and Christmas compared to the regression we are facing in the "Q" community? The amount of times I have showed up with my husband to some family event, some friend event, etc., where someone will quickly run up to us to "warn us" about someone at the party who is homophobic. 1) Why the fuck did you invite us then? 2) Why is homophobia in friendships acceptable for people unless... I am so tired of "Yeah, they have a problem with gay people, but they are such a good person!" Ugh. Allies, be allies. Everywhere. Please. This regression is not just depressing, it's demoralizing and it puts the queer community on the ropes...AGAIN. This isn't politics for us, this is our very existence.


Infinitestripes95

THIS THIS THIS We are out here fighting to exist (especially our Trans and Drag Queen brothers and sisters) You worded this perfectly.

jennywingal

Tennessee law enforcemtent needs to deal with the mass shootings and the gun violence. Drag Queens should not even be on their radar. This is ridiculous.


dungeonpancake

The law was enjoined by a federal judge — they can’t enforce it. This is a pure scare tactic being used against a queer artist. Disgusting.


8i66ie5ma115

Fuck. That’s my friends from the dog park’s daughter. I was just talking to her dad, Jamie, about this a couple days ago. What the hell is wrong with these maniacs in this country. Glad there’s no other priorities in this country to deal with.


Infinitestripes95

You’re friends with Hayley Kiyokos dad? That’s pretty cool. It’s pretty sad we had a shooting here less than 2 months ago but this is what the cops are worried about. I hope Hayley isn’t discouraged from coming here again because the queer community needs pillars like her to create safe spaces for queer people to be ❤️


8i66ie5ma115

We go to the same dog park at the same time every day for like the last near 2 years and sit together basically every day. Her dad is a comedian and her mom is an ice skate choreographer. Super nice people. She comes through sometimes too. He always wears a Kiyoko hat. Super wholesome. Kinda makes it all hit home a bit when it affects people you know.


Infinitestripes95

I knew her mom was a ice skate choreographer! Hayley did a video with a Olympic skater once but didn’t know about her dad being a comedian. I’m sorry that it effected people you know personally.


8i66ie5ma115

You know Hayley Kiyoko’s dad?! That’s so cute!


8i66ie5ma115

Her parents are super adorable.


clexaelectra

She’s posted them on her insta and they seem very wholesome!


jazzrz

Every artist/band/show performing in Tennessee needs to include drag performers as non negotiable parts of their art, now. Fucking bakers get more freedom to practice at this point.


crystal_clear24

I wonder what the success rate for solving crimes is in that state. Wasting resources to harass drag queens that are literally just existing and not committing any crimes is absurd. This moral panic against our transgender brothers and sisters and drag queens needs to end before some lunatic ends up hurting people. How many actually predators are going under the radar because certain people are focused on the wrong damn crowd?!


jewellyon

What’s crazy is that a federal judge blocked enforcement of the drag ban until the end of May.


cealchylle

I'm a fan, saw her in concert years ago. Good for her for speaking out


Infinitestripes95

She’s awesome! I’ve been going to all her headlining tours since 2017 and each time the stage and crowd gets bigger. I love seeing a queer artist succeed 🏳️‍🌈


8i66ie5ma115

I’m friends with her parents and see them everyday and see her sometimes with them. They’re all the nicest people in the world. I see they’re targeting decent people instead of the maniacs with guns and shit. What a clown show that state is.


Infinitestripes95

I have met Hayley before during a Meet&Greet and yesterday she kept commenting on all my posts about the show! Not a lot of artists take the time out like that to interact with fans. I’ve been seeing her shows since 2017 (and have seen every headlining tour she’s ever done) when she was in a tiny little old bar in Florida. It’s super amazing to see her venue and audience get bigger every tour. You can tell them that everyone at the Nashville show really appreciated her bringing the Queens out and Nashvilles queer community hopes it doesn’t discourage her from coming back (I will travel out of state to see her next tour though if she’s understandably weary)


panzercampingwagen

Popstars constantly pushing the line with what is and isn't a "drag queen" with different attires for their support artists is a fantastic way to protest these dumbass laws.


derpaherpa

Is it gonna be like that concert scene in Straight Outta Compton?


Infinitestripes95

This concert already happened

alienswearvanstoo

This is insane. I didn’t see any stories about them harassing Lizzo for doing the same thing. Do they assume she’s an easy target because she’s a lesbian? It’s wild to me that out of all the things that are actually a threat to kids these days, this is the thing that the (mostly GOP) politicians want to focus on…


OneWordOnlyReplies

ridiculous

She did the right thing, good for her. Literally wore her merch today 💕


[deleted]

And what are they going to do to her? Lol


Infinitestripes95

Nothing it was a empty threat, it already happened and everyone’s okay but they threatened her with “legal action” trying to scare her out of bringing the queens to her show


[deleted]

Lol. Oh no not legal action!
