Meet Keleigh Klarke.

Klarke is a longtime drag queen whose state, Tennessee, recently passed the country’s first law regulating drag performances.

The legislation, which was supposed to go into effect on April 1 but was temporarily blocked on March 31 by a federal judge, creates “an offense for a person who engages in an adult cabaret performance on public property or in a location where the adult cabaret performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.” It applies to “topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest.”

But while its supporters cite a need to protect children from what they describe as a sexualized threat, opponents worry the policy will unleash a new era of monitoring, with prosecutorial and police discretion reminiscent of a time when homosexuality and many acts of gender nonconformity were considered criminal.

“They seemed not to have realized that this is not 1903, 1963, or even 2003. There are out and proud people everywhere, in every profession with every skill you can name, who just are not going to be pushed back silently into shame,” says Kelly McDaniel, the Memphis resident who performs as Klarke.

TIME’s Janell Ross spends a weekend with Klarke to understand how the legislation could affect her community. Read the full story at the link in our bio. Photographs by @_andrea_morales for TIME
