A Texas law that would have restricted drag shows has been declared unconstitutional, with a federal judge issuing a permanent injunction. U.S. District Judge David Hittner said the law "violates the First Amendment as incorporated to Texas by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution." ABC has more:

Karen Attiah: All praise the #drag queens of Texas

"This is the heart of the matter. To uplift is serious spiritual work. But to oppress is as well. Those who pass bills such as #SB12, and who direct insults and violence at #LGBTQ+ people, are doing the dark spiritual labor of denying people their humanity, their expression, their safety and security.

Sunday was a lesson in how to remain compassionate — and glamorous — in the face of oppression. The Sisters told me that despite the attacks, they were not deterred from doing their spiritual work. The rest of us shouldn’t be, either."

Tomorrow, Saturday September 23rd is Bisexual Visibility Day.

Bisexuals comprise over 50% of the LGBTQ community yet we tend to be the silent majority and are not as visible as other segments.

With the current anti-Trans / anti-LGBTQ political climate it is time we make out voices heard and stand alongside Lesbian, Gay, Transgender and other Queer people to vote for Trans and LGBTQ rights and protections.

We should also work with other marginalized communities to ensure their voices are heard as well.

Remember the judge who took control of the border and tried to ban medication #abortion? Well he’s back and as bad as ever! Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk said that #drag is “vulgar and lewd” and likely unprotected by the #FirstAmendment. Finding something distasteful doesn’t impact its protections as free expression. He’s wrong and sucks very much. And this decision is pretty clearly about anti #LGBTQ bigotry, not about #law.

#Tennessee Officials Can't Use Anti-Drag Law To Interfere With #Pride Festival: Judge

Event organizers sued after a district attorney warned he intends to enforce the new statute even after another federal judge ruled it unconstitutional.

"As LZ Granderson observed in a June article for The Seattle Times, 'Society has always been willing to embrace men dressed as women for laughs just as long as the men in question were presumed to be straight.'

What’s feared is not drag. It never was drag but, rather, the queer people underneath the tiaras, boas and sequins. The queens, not the clothes, are the real targets — and that bigotry is the conversation we should be having."

The attack follows widespread anti-LGBT incidents in Lebanon, including incitement to violence against LGBT people by religious leaders, banning events around gender and sexuality by the government, and proposed legislation by officials to explicitly criminalize same-sex conduct and “promoting homosexuality.”

“We had to assess whether it was safe to host the event, but we decided to go ahead because drag is a form of entertainment that is mainstream in Lebanon and had not yet been targeted,” one of the event organizers said.

To our knowledge, there have been no arrests made in connection with the August 23 attack. If no one is held accountable, authorities are sending an alarming message that violence motivated by hate toward sexual and gender minorities is above the law, and LGBT people are excluded from the government’s obligation to protect them.

LGBT people and their allies will continue to raise their voices and fight for their rights. The only question is whether Lebanon’s government will listen.

Violent Assault on Drag Event in Lebanon

Increasingly Hostile Climate for LGBT People

By Rasha Younes

Men from an anti-LGBT group attacked a bar in Lebanon where a drag event was being held on August 23, while threatening violence against LGBT people.

“We stopped the show and had to hide behind the bar, lying down on the floor, breathless,” one of the performers told me. “The police stood on the side, watching, as the men were beating people.”

The men were part of the so-called Soldiers of God group that is openly hostile toward LGBT people in Lebanon.

“There were a dozen men on motorcycles who attacked us. At least two of them had guns,” another performer said.

A video of the attack shows the assailants shoving some of the attendees and shouting “We warned you, this is only the beginning,” and, “We will not allow the promotion of homosexuality in the land of God.”

Agents of the Internal Security Forces who arrived while the attack was under way did not intervene, five of the event’s attendees said. “The police were watching as they attacked us, but instead of stopping and arresting them, they interrogated the bar owner and the attendees about the nature of the performance,” one of the attendees added.
