NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Proposed legislation to restrict or ban drag performances is not just an attack on the art form itself, but an attempt to marginalize and silence the LGBTQ+ community as a whole. Veronika Electronika explains, "It's a ban on the artistic expression that we, as entertainers and as a community, have to express ourselves in the way we dress, how we address ourselves, and how we want the world to see us."

 Plus, Out and About Today host Brent Meredith, Veronika Electronika and special guests Cya Inhale and ZXA share a rundown of community events happening this spring and summer in the Buzz About.
