State Rep. Aaron Bernstine, R-8th, said he is finalizing a bill that would classify drag shows as “adult business.”
Pennsylvania code has a statute for “Adult-Oriented Establishments,” which says businesses selling goods or services depicting, describing or relating to specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas are to be prohibited to minors.
Bernstine said limits on drag performances would be required to “protect minors, including location of performance and age of the intended audience.”
