I can't read minds, so it's impossible to know intent of lawmakers.

It's the language of any law that should be evaluated. The language of these is problematic.



I just don't think that is the case though. There is no real way to concretely delineate between something which "appeals to prurient interests" and something which does not. Re: the definition of obscenity in law is basically "you know it when you see it"

We only have so much ability to classify things in English. Personally, I do not think it is appropriate for children to be present at sexualized drag shows. I believe that it is right to have laws that prevent this. I cannot think of any language better than what was in that bill to implement this.
