#US. #District #Judge #ThomasParker, a #Trump #appointee, #ruled the #dragban “is an #unconstitutional #restriction on #speech.”
The District Attorney wrote in a three-page “#notice” addressed to #BlountPride organizers and distributed to local #law #enforcement, “however if sufficient #evidence is presented to this office that the #unconstitutional #criminal #statutes have been #violated, our office will ethically and justly prosecute these cases in the interest of justice.”

A great kick-off for #PrideMonth
is this Federal Court ruling that overturns #Tennessee's #DragBan, saying it's #unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker ruled the #AdultEntertainmentAct (AEA) violates the separation-of-powers principle and infringes upon #FreedomOfSpeech protected through the #FirstAmendment.
>>The judge wrote that freedom of speech as designed in the First Amendment is “not just about speech,” but also about the right “to express one’s identity, and to realize self-fulfillment in a free society.” Tennessee’s law, he said, infringed upon those rights.<<
A great win for #LGBTQ Rights!
