PHOENIX - Some Republican lawmakers say they want to start regulating the 
drag queen business in Arizona.

Three new bills were introduced that would either limit or restrict drag 
shows, and the drag queens and allies are getting ready for a legal 
showdown.

"Not only is it terribly offensive, terribly marginalizing to the drag 
community, which is a perfectly open, welcoming positive community of 
entertainers, but this is traditional performance that has gone back in 
society for centuries, even the days of Shakespeare and Elizabethan 
theater," says Jeremy Helfgot with Phoenix Pride.

Helfgot and members of the LGBTQ community are reacting to three proposed 
bills focusing on drag shows in Arizona and the access minors have to 
them.

Arizona Senator Anthony Kern proposing two of the bills – one to prevent 
drag shows or adult cabaret shows from happening in public where children 
might see, and another limiting the days and hours at which these shows 
can be performed, also setting more specific zoning requirements for where 
these shows can happen.

The third was proposed by Arizona Senator John Kavanagh and addresses 
where the money is coming from for these types of shows.

Kavanagh says the idea for his bill was sparked after he saw videos of 
sexually explicit drag shows online, not specifically in Arizona. He says 
this was a preemptive move so that something like this never can happen in 
Arizona.

"My bill doesn't ban drag shows. My bill doesn't even say parents can't 
take their kids to drag shows, although I would be quite disturbed to hear 
that a parent was doing that if it's the type of drag show that has very 
racy, simulated sexual acts that some of them have. But, all my bill does 
is say that state money, taxpayer funds can't fund a drag show if it 
targets children," Kavanagh said.

Richard Stevens performs as a drag queen in the Valley, better known by 
the stage name Barbra Seville. These three proposed bills would have a 
direct impact on her performances and a minor's access to them if they 
wanted to see a show.

"I don't understand the huge concern about protecting minors from drag, 
because drag is such a huge part of the entertainment culture. If you look 
back, you've been surrounded by drag your whole life. Bugs Bunny, Milton 
Berle, Tom Hanks," Stevens said.

Stevens says while he understands there are drag shows that may cross the 
line of what's acceptable for children, the same could be said for any art 
form, and those who wish to see it, and host it, should have the 
opportunity.

"I've been doing drag for a really long time, and I don't think I've ever 
gotten a check from someone who didn't want me to have it," Stevens said.
