To prohibit the use of Department of Defense funds for adult cabaret performances.

12/15/2023, 3:58 PM

This bill prohibits the use of Department of Defense funds or facilities for hosting, advertising, or otherwise supporting an adult cabaret performance (i.e., a performance that features topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, or male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to prurient interest).

Bill 118 hr 3825, also known as the "Prohibition of Department of Defense Funds for Adult Cabaret Performances Act," aims to prevent the use of Department of Defense funds for adult cabaret performances. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives and is currently under consideration.

If passed, this legislation would prohibit the Department of Defense from using any of its funds to support or sponsor adult cabaret performances. This includes any performances that involve nudity, sexually explicit content, or other adult entertainment.

The bill is intended to ensure that taxpayer dollars allocated to the Department of Defense are used for appropriate and necessary purposes, rather than for entertainment that may be deemed inappropriate or offensive. Supporters of the bill argue that it is important to maintain the integrity and professionalism of the Department of Defense, and that funding should be directed towards activities that support the military's mission and objectives. Opponents of the bill may argue that it infringes on the rights of individuals to engage in legal forms of entertainment, and that it may be overly restrictive in its scope. However, the primary focus of the bill is to ensure that taxpayer dollars are used responsibly and in accordance with the values and standards of the Department of Defense. Overall, Bill 118 hr 3825 seeks to establish clear guidelines for the use of Department of Defense funds and to prevent any misuse or misallocation of taxpayer dollars for adult cabaret performances. It is currently being reviewed by Congress and may undergo further revisions before potentially being passed into law.
