HB675

Revise laws related to hypersexualized shows

Failed·5/20/25

Montana HB675 would allow minors and their guardians to sue for attending hypersexualized drag performances.

Montana HB675 would allow a minor or their parent or guardian to sue a person who knowingly promotes, conducts, or participates in a drag queen or drag king performance. The bill defines "drag queen" as a performer who embraces an ultra-feminine, hypersexualized persona, and "drag king" as a performer who embodies an exaggerated masculine persona. If a plaintiff prevails, the court would award actual damages, attorney fees, and statutory damages of $5,000.
