The First in Person Pride in Northampton, Massachusetts Since Before the Pandemic

Lisa Rubin: Republican state legislators all over the country have been following all over themselves to pass anti-drag laws and varieties of anti-trans legislation. Organizers of Pride events in red states are having to censor their plans or cancel plans for Pride for fear of running afoul of the new Republican drag police. Tennessee became the first state in the nation to enact a ban on drag performances a couple of months ago. The ban has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge, but meanwhile what the ban has done is it's managed to create a sort of catalyst for some amazing and otherwise unexpected artistic performances in Tennessee.
