To prohibit the use of Federal funds to be used to support drag theater performances.

HR 5981 prohibits federal funding for any program, project, or activity involving drag performances, including shows, testimonials, or demonstrations. It defines "drag" as dressing in opposite-gender clothing with exaggerated gendered mannerisms or combining male/female elements in elaborate costumes. This ban directly affects any federally funded entity - like theaters, community centers, or events - that hosts such performances. The bill restricts the use of all federal funds for these specific activities, without exempting specific venues or audiences. It does not address private funding or performances not receiving federal support.
