@latimes There are so many underlying issues related to #mentalillness. The expansion of how "gravely disabled" is defined is not the answer. @SenSusanEggman seems to mean well but she + coauthors must seriously consider rewording, changing and removing terms in her proposal. Involuntary holds are necessary in many severe cases BUT 'tis not a crime to simply have mental illness. #SB43 #california

Arkansas’s state senate just approved #SB43, which essentially designates dressing in any gender “atypical”clothing as “adult” performance.

Women in pants.
Men wearing bracelets.

Creepy politicians need to stop sexualizing everyone based on their clothes.

Okay, #legalmastodon and #lawyers with experience in #FirstAmendment cases and who might be more familiar with #Arkansas law: A friend of mine is a #drag performer, and occasionally travels to Fayetteville to perform. They're worried about the potential impact of Arkansas #SB43 on their livelihood. I'd argue that most all drag performances aren't intended to and don't in fact appeal to the prurient interest, so SB43 would be difficult to enforce. I welcome any other feedback/thoughts.

Senator @clarketucker@twitter.com speaks out against anti-LGBTQ law #SB43:

“25% of the kids in our state don’t know how they’re gonna eat dinner tonight… The people of Arkansas sent us down here to make better laws than this.”
