A photo of Governor Bill Lee in drag has been making the rounds on the internet, and it has sparked an intense debate among political humorists. The photo surfaced Monday on a political humor sub-Reddit and days after the Tennessee legislature passed a bill banning drag shows from venues in the state. A Reddit user posted the photo in a post on the subreddit Political Humor, with the caption “Governor Bill Lee in drag (Franklin High yearbook 1977, page 165).”
The photo quickly went viral, as Reddit users began debating the political implications of the image. Some argued that the photo was a sign of progress, while others argued that it was an example of political correctness gone too far. Any attempt by political activists to conflate this serious issue with political correctness was quickly dismissed by the majority of users.

The conversation then moved from the realm of comedy to the realm of politics. Texas State Representative Gene Wu was mentioned several times, as Reddit users discussed his approach to politics.

The conversation then shifted to the topic of political cartoons. An image of Greg Abbott's head on a cartoon baby surrounded by red cut outs of “no-go” signs was posted. The image was accompanied by the caption “A gift to the subreddit r/PoliticalHumor. Love, Gizmodo.” The post sparked a debate about the power of political cartoons to make a statement.
