Texas is now allowed to ban drag shows in public or when children are present, a federal appeals court has ruled.

The ruling said the state can enforce a 2023 law prohibiting such performances, which have drawn much controversy, not just in Texas but across the nation, Fox News reported Saturday.

“Senate Bill 12 bans drag performers from dancing suggestively or wearing certain prosthetics on public property or in front of children. Business owners could face a $10,000 fine for hosting these performances, and performers who violate the law could be slapped with a Class A misdemeanor,” the outlet said.

In March, leaders of Texas A&M University banned drag shows and told campus presidents to cancel upcoming drag shows, per Breitbart News.
