Don't make me read there.

Will someone dressed either “appropriately or inappropriately” with a private library or a street corner break this law.

What “is” drag anyway. We do need ‘drag king story hours’ if only to demonstrate the patriarchal, heteronormal nature of such lawmaking. A Matt Walsh drag king would qualify.

x Montana has become the first state to specifically ban people dressed in drag from reading books to children at public schools and libraries. The law took effect immediately after Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte signed the bill on Monday. https://t.co/8xFzeEDngr — The Associated Press (@AP) May 24, 2023

Because right-wing idiots think that hearing stories read live by people in costume cannot exist under dominionist law. Gauleiter Gianforte will tackle and slam to the ground any maven of free speech. Trump said “He’s my type”, because Gianforte must resemble Ivana Trump, Marla Maples, or Karen Macdougal.

(2018) A misdemeanor assault charge is something that most political candidates would like forgotten. That could be the case for Rep. Greg Gianforte, a Republican running for re-election in Montana, who first garnered national headlines in May 2017 when he allegedly body-slammed a reporter. The controversial move was appealing to President Donald Trump, apparently. He praised Gianforte at a rally on Thursday, saying, "Any guy who can do a body slam, he is my type!" abcnews.go.com/...
