A federal judge blocked the new Florida law that bans drag shows in public places where children may see them, the latest in a string of court losses for Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s anti-LGBTQ agenda, CBS News reports.
Citing the fucking First Amendment, the operators of the family-oriented restaurant chain Hamburger Mary’s in Orlando, where they’ve hosted family-friendly drag shows for 15 years, said the law illegally targeted a group of people to limit their freedom of speech. U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell cited the vagueness of the law and its potentially chilling effects on the plaintiff’s rights as a reason to issue the injunction.
