Another GOP lawmaker trying to ban drag has been caught in drag

North Texas state Rep. Nate Schatzline (R-TX) introduced a bill to restrict drag shows, even though video has surfaced of him performing in drag.

Schatzline is the author of Texas’s House Bill 1266, which aims to restrict drag performances by reclassify any venue where such performances occur as a “sexually oriented business.” As The Dallas Morning News notes that the classification would subject the venues to special taxes and restrictions.

GOP lawmakers now want to ban drag brunches on Sundays

The bill, which Schatzline introduced in January but which has not advanced, defines drag as any “performance in which a performer exhibits a gender identity that is different than the performer’s gender assigned at birth using clothing, makeup, or other physical markers and sings, lip syncs, dances, or otherwise performs before an audience for entertainment.”

But earlier this week, a video showing Schatzline performing in a dress as a teenager, reportedly for a school project, appeared on TikTok and Twitter. By his own legal definition, his performance in the video would violate the law.

2. Oh, Nate, just let your freak flag fly and wear that dress if you want to.

But stop telling others they can't.

I hope he enjoys his newfound notoriety.

4. In 1997 at bandcamp in high school we had a cross dressing day

I don't recall there being any objections to it at the time.

I think if it happened in 2023 it would have protest and make national news.

Sad.
