The posts come as state legislators across the country move to restrict drag performances.

In Tennessee, Gov. Bill Lee signed legislation in March restricting drag performances in public, making it the first state to pass such a ban. The legislation would specifically prohibit any \"adult cabaret performance on public property\" or where it can be viewed by minors.

The legislation was temporarily blocked on March 31 by a federal judge who called it \"vague and overly-broad,\" delaying its enforcement while the court considers its constitutionality.

Similar anti-drag legislation has been introduced in more than a dozen other states, including Arizona, Idaho, Montana and Texas, among others.
