Montana judge keeps in place a ban on enforcement of law restricting drag shows

A federal judge in Montana continues to prevent the enforcement of a law that imposes restrictions on drag shows and prohibits drag reading events in public schools and libraries.

The judge stated on Friday that this law targets freedom of speech and expression, and both its text and legislative history show evidence of hostility towards the LGBTQ+ community.

This preliminary injunction, granted by U.S. District Court Judge Brian Morris, halts the implementation of the law while a lawsuit filed on July 6 progresses through the legal process.

Morris presided over arguments regarding the injunction on August 28, the Associated Press reported.
