Florida Judge Extends Injunction on Drag Show Law to All Venues

A federal judge in Florida has clarified that his order blocking a law targeting drag shows applies to all venues in the state, not just the restaurant that brought the lawsuit challenging it. The judge reiterated that the law, championed by Governor Ron DeSantis, is likely unconstitutional. The law punished venues for allowing children into "adult live performances," which was seen as targeting drag shows. The judge rejected the state's argument that the preliminary injunction should only apply to the restaurant, stating that all Floridians are potentially affected since free speech is at stake.
