A couple of bills restricting drag performances for children are on their way to the Texas House after the Senate approved them on Wednesday. Senate Bill 1601 would defund public libraries in Texas that present drag queen storytimes for children. Senate Bill 12 bars kids from drag shows in which the performances are overly lewd and lascivious. Sen. Royce West of Dallas was the only Democrat to vote yes for the two bills, but he later switched to a no vote for SB 1601.
