It’s always en vogue to report on every batshit-crazy bill filed by Republicans in the Texas legislature, and while there’s genuinely some terrible legislation that gets passed, the Texas Legislature is where bills go to die, and this will definitely be one that dies. This bill will never get out of committee, and this headline is a lie.
It’s not a lie, though? The six dildos thing is absolutely a real law, and someone has introduced a bill to ban sex toys in drug stores which would probably include Walmart.
It’s perhaps somewhat misleading, since this apparently has no chance of passing, but it isn’t a lie.
