The same bans have already been overturned by the courts in other states as being unconstitutional, they won’t last long

Well, they’d like to think so anyway, but it’s very clearly not as it goes against something they claim to unwaveringly support, the first amendment

It seems to be an (over)reaction to drag queens being inflicted on kids.

I'm not expecting you to have all the answers and this is a rhetorical question.. but where is a line drawn, because men like Donald Trump appear to me to wear just as much make up as a drag act, and his hair is certainly a story all of it's own

The ultimate goal for the republicans of these states trying to take gays rights away, is to eventually get the gay marriage rights overturned, it’s all a ploy to make lgbt people second class citizens again, hidden behind religion and guise of ‘protecting’ people that don’t need to be protected

which makes them gay in the first place because sexuality may be fluid to an extent but overtly heteronormative society doesn't appear to make gay people straight. and after all nothing breeds contempt like familiarity. |

If blackface can be banned for offensive stereotyping then "womanface" can be banned for the same reasons.
That said - I'm very aware that the actual reasoning behind these bans is far from pro-woman, and that in fact, the essence of most homphobia is rooted in underlying misogyny ("to be gay = a man being woman-like = wrong", in their minds). |

I see little or zero evidence that this applies to sexuality though. Another unfortunate and unintended consequence of muddling sexuality up with gender ideology politics. FWIW for me drag has little to do with either; it's not a gay man's right to create misogynistic caricatures of women by the virtue of it being "part of gay culture", any more than it would be OK for groups of women to get together and host competitons to see who can pretend to be the funniest stereotypical gay man. |
