The Florida law didn’t specifically mention drag performances, but said the state should revoke the liquor license of an establishment that allows children to attend performances that include lewd exposure to “prosthetic or imitation genitals and breasts.”
backed by GOP governors taking aim at drag events. The Florida law did not specifically mention drag performances, but said the state should revoke the liquor license of any establishment that allows children to attend performances that include lewd exposure to “prosthetic or imitation genitals and breasts.”the law was designed to “let kids be kids,” but opponents said it was part of a slate of laws aimed at “erasing” the LGBTQ community.
Presnell also said the law clashes with another DeSantis priority — the “Parents’ Bill of Rights” — because it allows the state to decide what performances children can attend, rather than leaving that choice up to parents. He added that existing obscenity laws already protect children from “any constitutionally unprotected obscene exhibitions or shows.”
Brice Timmons, an attorney who represented Hamburger Mary’s in the lawsuit, said the case was about protecting fundamental rights. Supporters contended it was a needed measure to protect children. Before the bill’s signing, the DeSantis administration had targeted several establishments featuring drag performers. In one incident, the governor filed a complaint against Miami drag bar R House after a viral video surfaced showing a scantily clad dancer holding hands and walking with a young girl.
