I have come to believe that the clamor for more gun control laws and the push for laws suppressing drag shows and transgender procedures for minors share a certain worldview. That worldview, one I shared and operated under for two decades, explains why passing laws hasn't done much, if anything, to change the direction of things. I hope you can learn from my experience and join me in reconsidering something I once thought true.

I have watched with great interest and a bit of amusement the controversy over drag queen shows, first in some of our cities and more recently in our state legislature. A federal district court has already prevented enforcement of the new state law regulating such shows on the ground that it violates the free speech provision of the First Amendment, in addition to being unconstitutionally vague. I firmly believe there is a solution to these constitutional challenges, but at present our state’s political leadership seems uninterested.
