Judge channels Dolly Parton in blocking Texas drag show ban

U.S. District Judge David Hittner blocked a Texas law restricting drag performances, finding it unconstitutionally broad. In his ruling, Hittner stated the law would restrict performances by artists including Dolly Parton, referencing her music videos and stage performances as examples of content that could fall under the law's definition of prohibited material. Hittner determined the law did not clearly define which performances would be illegal, making it impossible for performers to know what conduct was prohibited.
