MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The U.S. Supreme Court denied a petition by Memphis-based theatre company Friends of George’s to hear a lawsuit over a Tennessee law placing strict limits on drag shows. The Supreme Court docket shows that the petition filed in December 2024 was denied Feb. 24, 2025.

An X post from the Tennessee Attorney General's Office called the Supreme Court's decision not to hear the case, ""Another big win for Tennessee!"

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a challenge to a Tennessee law restricting some drag performances, allowing the first-in-the-nation law to remain largely intact.

The Supreme Court of the United States has denied a recent request from Friends of George’s to challenge the state’s law placing restrictions on drag performances.
