Federal judge blocks Tennessee county from enforcing state drag ban
(Worthy News) – A federal judge blocked a Tennessee district attorney in Blount County from enforcing the state law that bans adult performances on public property or in areas that children could see.
Judge Ronnie Greer, a George W. Bush appointee for Tennessee’s Eastern District, issued a temporary restraining order to stop Blount County District Attorney Ryan Desmond from enforcing the Adult Entertainment Act, which a federal judge in the Western District of Tennessee ruled unconstitutional in June.
Greer’s order Friday comes after Desmond sent a letter to the organizers of an LGBT+ event at Maryville College stating that the Western District judge’s ruling did not apply in the Eastern District and that he was prepared to prosecute any potential violations of the state law.
