Proposed ordinance to limit drag shows in Branson

Branson could potentially limit where drag shows can be performed. 

A proposed zoning ordinance would restrict where drag establishments are allowed to be located. 

NewsNation says the proposed ordinance would amend city zoning regulations so no drag shows will be within 600 feet of a church, school, or public park. 

It also would require establishments to cover their windows so people on the sidewalk cannot see inside. 

Mayor Larry Milton clarifies that drag shows are not being banned. 

The Branson Board of Aldermen voted to move the ordinance forward. 

There will be a second reading of the ordinance at the next board meeting, scheduled for August 8, before it comes to a vote.
