Tennessee governor targeting drag says a photo showing him dressed as a woman isn't a problem because it was 'lighthearted' when he did it

• A photo purporting to show Tennessee's Republican governor in drag in 1977 resurfaced on Reddit.
• His office did not deny it was him, but said that it was "different" to what he's trying to ban.
• The bill would limit where drag shows can take place under the guise of protecting children.

Tennessee's Republican governor, who is trying to restrict drag performances in his state, dismissed any allegations of hypocrisy by saying that an old photo that appeared to show him dressed as a woman was just part of a "lighthearted tradition."
