House Bill 230, inspired by drag shows, received a hearing in the House State Affairs committee Wednesday
A bill to limit youth access to public performances considered “indecent sexual exhibitions,” such as drag shows, is headed to the Idaho House floor after passing a committee hearing on Wednesday.
House Bill 230, sponsored by Rep. Ted Hill, R-Eagle, would require event hosts and organizers to verify people’s age to attend public performances that are considered “indecent sexual exhibitions,” using the same indecency standard used by the Federal Communications Commission to determine whether content is appropriate for daytime television. Minors who are exposed to “sexual conduct” would have a right to sue event organizers for $5,000 in statutory damages as well as monetary damages for “psychological, emotional, economic and physical harm suffered,” according to the bill.
The bill also includes an emergency clause, meaning the bill would go into effect 30 days after the governor’s signature.
Hill said the legislation aims to address “negative secondary effects on society of exposing children to indecent sexual conduct,” and it would protect children like his own.
The Idaho Family Policy Center drafted the bill, an organization that pushes for conservative Christian policies. It previously tried to ban drag performances in public spaces in 2023, and this year drafted legislation to require Bibles be taught in schools.
They want to ban “drag” and in the same breath teach “The Bible” in school which has many instances and references to drag. Not to mention, sodomy, rape, incest and murder.
Make it make sense.
Well, this seems certain for a lawsuit! Especially since, for example, “Drag Queen Story Hour” at a public library isn’t sexual in any way, but only bring gender into focus/into question. Sex is about activity vs. gender is about identity = not the same thing. 🤔🤷🏻♂️
They would have voted on the bill earlier, but many of the legislators were either at a strip club or on line with a sex cam performer. 🤣
This, apparently, is all in an effort to stop the “Transgendered Mind Virus”? Apparently, “Transgender” is contagious, and is spread through a variety of means? The “False belief” that your actual gender is other than your biological gender, is the result of a contagious viral thought, that is contracted by exposure to other contaminated persons?
It is unclear if this is simply a potential symptom of the “Woke Mind Virus” or if these two things are separate epidemics. Either way, people can contract “Mind Viruses” that produce these results. Oh also, “Gay” doesn’t really exist… same sex attraction does, but “Gay” does not. A possible third Global Pandemic Mind Virus that all of humanity has suffered since the dawn of mankind?
“Gay” and/or “Transgender” are all potential symptoms of one or more ancient “Mind Viruses”…not sure about “woke”…. maybe the same “Mind Virus” or a separate one.
This nonsense is what we do instead of addressing problems! Create invisible boogiemen that are “coming to get you”… so we can have a justification for getting rid of all we don’t like.
