Mastriano to introduce bill to make drag shows 'adult-oriented' business
State Sen. Doug Mastriano says he plans to introduce a bill that would ban drag shows in places that can be seen by minors.
In a memo posted to the state Senate website on Monday, Mastriano said the proposed legislation would place drag shows under the "adult-oriented business" classification, which would put restrictions such as permitted locations for performances, age of the intended audience, and the scope and appeal for "prurient interest" in place.
Mastriano referenced two drag show performances in the memo that he says were attended by minors, including one during after-school hours at a Lancaster County school district.
The memo was deleted from the state senate website Monday night.
The website now states, "this memo is being circulated and will be available shortly."
