Gov. Bill Lee speaking in front of a podium.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee is one of the latest Republican leaders who have targeted drag shows in their state.
  • A Texas state senator and a Tennessee governor have proposed their own laws restricting drag shows.
  • Both Republican leaders have previously dressed in drag ā€” based on their bills' definition of the word.
  • They've argued that it's not the same as a drag show.

A Texas state representative and Tennessee governor who have supported or proposed restrictions on drag shows in their respective states have dressed in drag themselves ā€” if you use the bills' own definitions.
