   ===========   
   Shakespeare Is Just Collateral Damage for Transphobic Laws Against Drag   
   Shows   
      
   Do lawmakers who are pushing this crap even know what they're afraid of?   
      
   this particular "political winner" throws public education into chaos.   
   Not even Shakespeare would be safe, as P. M. Carpenter helpfully points   
   out. The law...   
      
       "would apply to any show whose 'main aspect [is] a performer which   
   exhibits a gender identity that is different than the performer’s gender   
   assigned at birth using clothing, makeup, or other physical markers; and   
   the performer sings, lip syncs, dances, or otherwise performs before an   
   audience for entertainment.'   
      
       That's quite the broad wording. As such, Nebraska's bill would outlaw   
   the public presentation of several Shakespeare plays: "The Merchant of   
   Venice," "As You Like It," and "Twelfth Night." Gone would be Portia as a   
   law clerk, Rosalind as Ganymede, and Viola as Cesario. In Shakespeare's   
   era, female characters were played by cross-dressing males. Today, women   
   actors dressed like men in Omaha or Lincoln would still be banned from   
   performing Shakespeare.

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — “If I hadn’t been a girl, I’d have been a drag   
   queen.”   
      
   Dolly Parton has uttered those words famously and often. But if she   
   really were a drag queen, one of Tennessee’s most famous daughters would   
   likely be out of a job under legislation signed into law by Republican   
   Gov. Bill Lee on Thursday.
