A Texas federal judge has struck down Senate Bill 12 for the second time, declaring it unconstitutional for violating the First Amendment. The law, which targeted drag performances and other expressive acts, was deemed overly broad—potentially criminalizing everything from cosplay to swimmers. Judge David Hittner emphasized that the bill punished content and viewpoint, not actual obscenity, and urged those offended to simply avoid such events. The ruling, backed by LGBTQ+ plaintiffs including activist Brigitte Bandit, reinforces the protection of artistic freedom and signals ongoing resistance to state censorship.
