The ruling, in a case brought by a Hamburger Mary’s restaurant, pauses enforcement of the state’s new “Protection of Children” law, which prohibits admitting children to an “adult live performance.”

    The movie thing is also quite an apt example. It is totally legal for a child to see an R-rated movie with their parent. R rated movies are allowed to have nudity, simulated sex scenes, etc etc etc. Much more inappropriate for a child than being read an age-approriate story by a drag queen or seeing someone in drag dancing and singing on stage. But this law about drag performance makes no exceptions for parental responsibility. A parent could conceivably be convicted of a misdemeanor for taking their child to a family friendly drag show.
