A great kick-off for #PrideMonth🏳️‍🌈 is this Federal Court ruling that overturns #Tennessee's #DragBan, saying it's #unconstitutional.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker ruled the #AdultEntertainmentAct (AEA) violates the separation-of-powers principle and infringes upon #FreedomOfSpeech protected through the #FirstAmendment.

>>The judge wrote that freedom of speech as designed in the First Amendment is “not just about speech,” but also about the right “to express one’s identity, and to realize self-fulfillment in a free society.” Tennessee’s law, he said, infringed upon those rights.<<

🌈 A great win for #LGBTQ Rights! 🏳️‍🌈
