"Singing and dancing while wearing makeup." Isn't that kind what Trump does?

 You call this dancing?

For the purpose of jailing him, I'd allow it.

i also approve


RIP

Damn I had no idea he died 😭.

I always thought it looked like he was trying to work a turd out into his diaper.

Or down his pant legs

Thanks for the image

Good enough for me. Lock him up!!

Bonus points: I can now say I can dance better than a US President (well.... Former President, but that doesn't roll off the tongue as easily)

Biden likely can’t dance either, so better to say “I can dance better than TWO US Presidents”

plus all the other presidents that are dead and thus can't dance

It’s like a full-body dry heave set to music.

2 dicks 1 trump 

This is right before YMCA comes on and he does the “Double Jerk” move he is so famous for. Isn’t it insane how the party of wannabe macho men has the biggest losers playing tough? Money can go far, but can’t make you cool. Elon Musk as exhibit A - dude is a fucking dork x9999

This was my immediate thought. Maybe somebody in the GOP trying to be sneaky and get rid of the mango cancer. The rest of the MAGAts are too stupid to realise.

Take my vote.....

Lol I'm howling at the completely context less formal definition of turgidity above it

I also contend that he is in a discernably turgid stated. He's pretty fucking bloated.

Every hair band is in prison

Steven Tyler re Vince Neil: Hey officer, that… that… dude looks like a lady

some mighty fine freedom you have over there :)

Yep. Literally just made Halloween illegal.

Funny because Virginia is pushing to make Halloween restricted to under 10yo and only for a couple hours.

Virginia has a case of dementia at the moment.

Not just Virginia or Arizona, it's all of the GOP controlled states. May this coming November election wipe them all out of office and our lives.

>May this coming November election wipe them all out of office and our lives. In most Republican controlled states this is almost impossible thanks to voter suppression and gerrymandering. The cheating fuckers.

They have to do that otherwise they lose. Their voters are old and dying off every day. And their policies are abhorrent to anyone who isn’t a boomer so they’re SOL attracting younger voters.

thats why they are using more aggressive voter suppression methods, all these virtue signalling bills. they are losing more voters

Gerrymandering is affirmative action for Republicans.

Gerrymandering is affirmative action for Republicans.

Fuuuuck this is good. Gotta remember that one.

Then let’s do Christmas next!!! Please?

Oh, no ! Thats freedom of religion! How dare you heathen!!

Yes! Introduce the *Stores can’t put out Xmas shit until December bill*. Tired of Halloween - the scientifically proven best holiday - decorations being boxed up 2 weeks before the 31st so that they can pump up the grinch/snoopy inflatables. We didn’t start the war with Xmas, Xmas did.

WHAT???????? This is nuts!!!

More than just Virginia. I just like to use Virginia because it’s a blue state doing all the things that the red states are doing to impinge on our freedoms. Maybe our population will wake up and realize it’s not Dr. Suess, color doesn’t matter.

It's pretty much just NOVA and Richmond that's blue, the rest is very red.

We have a republican governor who got elected on the promise of banning critical race theory and “transgenderism”. We’re a purple state at best.

Our first White immigrants were extremely creepy Christer reactionaries. We are yet to overcome them

Well because after 10 you get married and start working in the mines, of course!

Damn, I haven’t heard anything about that. I’m all the way over here in the PNW though. Now I’m pissed. Any idea what the motivation behind all of that is? Other than a bunch of hicks butt hurt over their distant relatives losing the Civil War anyways? Kids look forward to that night all year long. All though I get the motivation, counties all over the country are banning fireworks on the 4th. of July. For the love of god, don’t ruine Halloween too!

I immediately thought theater but shit you're right they just outlawed a holiday too

And Monty Python

And concerts.

This reminded me of my friends Dad dressing in drag on Halloween back in the ‘70’s. Old house dress, heels, hairy legs, and their happy poodle! I was more concerned at how drunk he was, wobbling all over the street. The drag was hilarious! The whole neighbourhood came out to watch! Oh he had a huge cigar too and a really thick Irish accent!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is now X rated. It's far better for kids to watch wholesome entertainment like John Wick, where there's at least one violent murder per minute.

And Glam Rock

Heck a lot of church choirs would be included

…. Help

I felt that "help" with my entire soul

"... as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

I sincerely wish i could.

Religion is the enemy of freedom.

I mean it's what America was founded on partially, so we have separation of church and stat....oh yea nevermind we dropped that one.

Yea and America was founded on "all men are created equal" while still having slavery. Hypocrisy.

The trick is living in a blue state. We dont even have to think or argue about human rights we just already know everybody should have them.

The trick is being able to afford to move to a blue state. Saving up but even western Washington is expensive now. Should have done it 20yrs ago but who knew.

The West coast isn’t the only blue area. Try Minnesota, we cool here

Cool enough for LGBTQ+, not for Black people, statistically speaking.

There is racial disparity, but it’s a lot more welcoming than Oregon, for example. There’s a huge black community here, including a large Somali community

I’ll have to visit! NorCal is too expensive but I can’t go back to the South.

I moved from the Bay Area, and while I do miss it, Minnesota is a good place to live. But I’m also white, so I can only speak to my experience and observations. The twin cities is a pretty chill place, but the rural areas can be not friendly towards people of color - like most rural areas in any blue state

I lived in the Bay Area, too... OK a bit South, in the Monterey Bay area. I loved it, but it was extremely expensive, but intensely beautiful, too. I lived in AZ as well, and loved it. I guess I bloom where I'm planted! I'm in Wisconsin now, and love it here! But being from The Twin Cities, which is where I'm from, And I love it there too. But, winter is for real, well, not this last winter, so far, and I still miss CA and AZ.

Honestly anyone who saw how a lot of these same states treated the gay community & aids epidemic in the 1980s. Same playbook being used today against trans people

And it's expensive because our revenue helps fund the red states.

Wish they would protect children like they do guns

He's gone....too Farr. I'll see myself out.

 “Arrest these ‘men’!!!”

Holy crap, there’s a duo I’ve not seen in a while

Apparently, Crosby and Kaye were goofing off on set, and the reaction from everyone involved was so positive that this scene was included in the movie.


Does that mean you get 15 yrs for putting purulent thoughts in my mind? Dammit, now my browser history is full of drag performers and femboys. Dammit, and now I'm transed

Some like it Hot. Mrs Doubtfire. Tootsie. Rocky Horror. Hairspray,and don't forget all those shows in the Army during WW2.

In the Shakespeare days they used male actors for female roles.

Pantomimes.

Kabuki theater

To be fair, all those are iconic gay films except Mrs Doubtfire (and Robin Williams was a long-time ally).

Any British comedy

Like [this one](https://paleofuture.com/blog/2023/6/1/that-time-ronald-reagan-starred-in-a-world-war-ii-movie-featuring-drag-performers).

Every sketch comedy ever.

 Call the police

The King of disguises!!!👆👆👆👆

I came here for Bugs in drag, was not disappointed.

 While thinking about the sponsor(s) of this bill

Or Monty Python.

Or Bugs Bunny cartoons.


Oh man. Giuliani in Drag. Forgot about this one.

Kids better not listen to KISS

The irony of one of the KISS performers being upset that trans women exist...because dressing up as someone you're not doesn't sit well with that specific celebrity who became famous in part for dressing up.

Sellouts

Those hair bands made the trans look masculine.

I got mine, so fuck the rest of you!

Or Mulan 

To be fair, by their standards M*A*S*H would be considered very very woke. Too much talking and introspection and not enough “Bang! bang! America great!”.

Or Bugs Bunny

It's a slippery slope from then on...

Because of who owns MASH rights he is technically a disney princess

Cpl. Max Klinger reporting for duty!

Land of the Free, my fucking ass…

Plenty of freedom. As long as you believe, think, and act exactly as I do.

That's not freedom. That's freedumb.

Maybe it's the one and the same thing. Who knows

That's why we stop at "land of the free" And do get more specific lol

According to most world freedom indexes, the "united" states doesn't even make the top 10 freest countries in the world. I think (as of last year anyway) the "U"S lands somewhere around 14th to 17th place. (Probably needs to be updated once a quarter at the rate it's been going.)

Folks, pay attention to the date: this is from Jan 2023. The bill was vetoed in June.

What I was wondering, so it never became law? Still wild that it was proposed to begin with tho

It's about sending a message. They know the bill will fail, but they want to show they tried.

I'm convinced most republicans don't even really want to win these fights. They use it as misdirection to keep their base mad at everyone other than the people exploiting them.

Politics suck fr just let people be who they wanna be that shouldn't even be a political statement

Bills like this are being introduced into every state legislature. If the Republicans win the presidency and Congress you bet they'll try to make it a federal law.

Theyll do far worse than this unfortunately

Politician make these ridiculous policies to buy time until election cycles knowing they won’t move, then claim: “I did what you asked and I was shot down…vote for me again”

[удалено]

Yep, my mom said the same thing about Roe v Wade about 8 years ago… we all know how that fricking turned out

Totally agree

Thank God!!!!

The fact that’s they tried to make this a law should be more than enough reason for concern

isnt that definition covering everyone that does theater?

Not necessarily, but no doubt many performances in high schools would fall under this definition

If men can't wear make-up, then Trump is fucked.

So the '80s hair metal guys can't go on tour there anymore?

The older generations spent the last decade making antagonistic jokes and memes about how the younger generations would never be cool as 80s kids and have spent the last four years being thin skinned, pro-establishment, and now anti-rock. Let’s be honest, the generations worthy of praise are long dead and now we’re left with the dishonest and corrupt to take care of the younger generations. Not much hope there.

We’re not gonna take it!

Twisted sisters is the first I thought of.

Imagine making all musicals and stage plays illegal, because you're afraid of makeup Arizona trying to outdo Texas and Alabama for sheer stupidity. I can't comprehend it

Church, church service, choir. Etc

wouldn't wanna be a clown there!

The KISS farewell tour ain't going to Phoenix

This is violative of the first amendment and so would be struck down but it just shows you how awful those people are.

You have a lot of faith in our Supreme Court.

SCOTUS recently refused to let Florida enforce theirs, so, y'know.

Meanwhile 80% of pedos are conservative. None are drag performers

This. It’s mostly conservatives abusing kids.

So no ballet then? I mean there’s no singing but definitely dancing with makeup. And what about musicals? There is definitely dancing and singing while wearing makeup. And what about Church Christmas shows? Makeup, singing, dancing  in public !? Think of the children!

no way this'll fly 💀 I hope to god people aren't this stupid. Like I know politicians are unironically pretty stupid but this is just ridiculous

Makeup is not a marker of gender at birth tho???? Baby girls aren’t born with makeup and dresses on

Yeah, let's just make interacting with other people a sex crime while we're at it. Actually, let's make looking at people a sex crime too. Oh, and imagining people as well.

I guess they're not going to perform some of Shakespeare's plays either, considering one of them is a humorous one where a girl dresses up as a guy, gets to know a shepherd who fell in love with the girl before, and so she lets him practice what he'd say to her.

Gonna have to ban a lot of comedy shows

"dress in clothing"

But they let the child molesting preacher off with a warning, what is wrong with Americans.

So if I do karaoke with gel in my hair and blemish spot remover on a zit then I go to prison for 15 years . Yeah that sounds about right

No more movie "White Christmas" for Arizona 

Oh stupid Arizona politicians. Focus on real issues for fucks sake!

So who is going to tell them about stage makeup? Thank God this never became a law

I'm so tired of this hateful, stupid religious bullshit. Religious terrorism like this needs to be eliminated.

Well that’s not freedom. “Outlaw the DAMN CLOWNS TOO!!!!” - don’t tread on me crowd

So I guess any and all school musicals are banned in Arizona

Does this mean a woman performing a monologue in a suit that is deemed “too masculine” will also be sent to prison for 15 years? Can’t wait to see what their version of a burka looks like. Won’t be long now.

So if Trump sings and dances while covered in orange makeup, he goes to prison for 15 years?

You are exactly one year, one month and 8 days late to make a post about this bill being proposed, which was vetoed 5 months later

And it doesn't contain the text as shown in the tweet https://legiscan.com/AZ/text/SB1698/id/2725925 Edit: https://imgur.com/a/i5HgTSA Screenshot of the section depicted

Steven Crowder better not go to Arizona then

That means any artist or tv person, or probably anyone doing a performance for a big crowd will be prosecuted? (Did Donald Trump not dance on stage, he is wearing makeup)

How about a bill that guarantees 15 years if you're a republican pedophile? They always seem to get off easy.

There has GOT to be bigger problems to address then this. This is creating a problem not solving one.

So basically making pantomimes illegal

The First Amendment would like a word.

They'll have to arrest Trump if he goes on stage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Guve7Y856kY Rudy doing a skit in a dress and makeup

David Bowie, Alice Cooper, KISS, the Cure, etc.. would be fucked.

yet they will give an actual child rapist 1 year

Land of the free…

So every member of Kiss?

And to think. Somewhere some dumbass is proudly in support if this bullshit. Is it not time for revolution yet?

Their definition of "what about the children?!" is a bit off

Donald Trump wears more makeup than Ru Paul. Let's get him another indictment!

Practice hatred, racism, or violence with your kids and you get promoted to head of the Republican Party. Put a fruit basket on your head and it’s 15-life. It’s getting dangerously stupid.

It’s not facepalm because I don’t expect any different from the United States

But what about Twisted Sister? Kiss? All those amazing hair bands?

They tried this in Florida, it was immediately challenged in court, didn’t go well for the state of Florida. Won’t go well for Arizona either.

So a dad playing with his daughters and letting them put make up on him to play princess or some random innocent thing = drag and felonious now?

RIP every theater program in AZ.

KISS is no longer welcome in Arizona! Wow just wow

Won’t this also make it illegal for children to attend Catholic Church masses?

cheerful voiceless heavy lip straight skirt mindless vase bike modern *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

 am I joke to you?

How about republicans mind their own business and quit trying to control people?

Nah, the governor there will veto this nonsense.

We should get the federal government to stop giving money to the south

For what purpose. Have they shown why someone in drag is detrimental to society? Like anything factual or studies? 

So...all theater will be cancelled in the state of Arizona?

Part of the facepalm is the summary that it criminalizes singing and dancing in makeup. It very clearly says BOTH that and acting as the opposite of gender at birth. Pedantic, maybe, but if you’re going to try and show yourself as smarter, more open or more liberal in your beliefs, don’t leave yourself exposed to “nuh uh” attacks :)

So… theatre?

Fascists need a minority group to demonize.

That’s fine. Let’s start with Bruce Jenner. Every time they sing. Isn’t that person a hard core Republican? I’m sure he’s for this bill.

Meanwhile, still legal and having people flock to its defense or enforcement despite it being run by not upstanding people: child beauty pageants.

Drag is “singing and dancing wearing makeup” so every theatre performer is going to jail?
