Montana Enacts Law Specifically Targeting Drag Story Hours
The anti-drag bill bars, among other things, anyone in drag from reading to children in schools and libraries. It goes into effect as as fewer than half the state’s students are reading at or above grade level
Montana has become the first state in the nation to specifically prohibit anyone wearing drag from reading to children in schools and libraries, seemingly targeting family-friendly Drag Story Hour events that have been subject to criticism from far-right groups.
The legislation, which went into effect immediately after being signed Monday, also prohibits minors from attending drag shows, and bans drag performances from occurring on public property where children could be present.
