A closer look at how the Ohio bill that would limit drag performers to adult cabarets might work if it passes the legislature
The Repubican-dominated Ohio General Assembly is considering a bill that would limit drag performers to adult cabarets and would make it illegal for them to perform in public parks, libraries, or places where there are children under 18-years-old. Backers of the bill say it is needed to protect kids from observing harmful behavior that confuses them. But advocates for LGBTQ Ohioans say the bill would hurt LGBTQ Ohioans. Host Jo Ingles reports on all sides of the debate including testimony from proponents who testified for it and advocates for Ohio's LGBTQ community who are fighting against it. Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and Reporter Sarah Donaldson weigh in with their ideas about the chance of passage for this controversial legislation.
