Don't make me read there.
Will someone dressed either “appropriately or inappropriately” with a private library or a street corner break this law.
What “is” drag anyway. We do need ‘drag king story hours’ if only to demonstrate the patriarchal, heteronormal nature of such lawmaking. A Matt Walsh drag king would qualify.
Because right-wing idiots think that hearing stories read live by people in costume cannot exist under dominionist law. Gauleiter Gianforte will tackle and slam to the ground any maven of free speech. Trump said “He’s my type”, because Gianforte must resemble Ivana Trump, Marla Maples, or Karen Macdougal.

A misdemeanor assault charge is something that most political candidates would like forgotten.
That could be the case for Rep. Greg Gianforte, a Republican running for re-election in Montana, who first garnered national headlines in May 2017 when he allegedly body-slammed a reporter.
The controversial move was appealing to President Donald Trump, apparently. He praised Gianforte at a rally on Thursday, saying, "Any guy who can do a body slam, he is my type!"

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Montana has become the first state to specifically ban people dressed in drag from reading books to children at public schools and libraries, part of a host of legislation aimed at the rights the LGBTQ+ community in Montana and other states.
Bills in Florida and Tennessee also appear to try to ban drag reading events, but both require the performances to be sexual in nature, which could be up for interpretation. Both bills also face legal challenges.
Montana’s law is unique because — while it defines such an event as one hosted by a drag king or drag queen who reads children’s books to minor children — it does not require a sexual element to be banned.
That makes Montana’s law the first to specifically ban drag reading events, said Sasha Buchert, an attorney with Lambda Legal, a national organization that seeks to protect the civil rights of the LGBTQ+ community and those diagnosed with HIV and AIDS.
