Check my reply and you'll see I linked directly to the now-passed bill in Arkansas as well as the proposals in Iowa and Arizona. I believe there's at least 1-2 more in the works as well, but 3 is sufficient for now.

The only bill that restricts bringing minors to all forms of drag shows is Iowa. The Arkansas and Arizona bills specify that it must involve "prurient interest" (which actually has a specific legal definition as part of the Miller test), and the Arkansas bill specifically says it only applies to events with adult nudity and genital exposure.

It should also be noted that none of these bills have passed.

Yeah that is what proposed bills means.

It's certainly something that should be highlighted since the person who posted them claimed that it's currently illegal in several states.

Don’t bother with legal nuance here. It falls on deaf ears.
