The legislation is titled, ‘A Bill for an Act to Amend Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act 2013 to Prohibit Cross Dressing; and for Related Matters.’ According to the bill.

The bill proposes to add a new Sub-clause 3 to Section 4 of the Act, which says, “(1) Cross-dressing, whether done publicly, is prohibited.” “(2) A person is deemed to have committed the offence publicly if it is published or displayed publicly, even if it was committed privately or in a location that would normally be described as private.”

“Provided, however, that cross dressing in the course of a stage play or in any bona fide public entertainment shall not be subject to this section of this Act.”
