Hamburger Mary's files federal lawsuit against Florida and Gov. DeSantis over drag show law.

Hamburger Mary's Orlando, a restaurant that features drag shows, has filed a federal lawsuit against the state of Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis for violating their First Amendment rights to free expression. The lawsuit seeks to temporarily stop a new law that restricts drag performances from taking effect. The law is so broad and vague that it could be applied to almost any performance that involves a man dressing up like a woman, even if the performance isn’t sexual in nature. The restaurant had hosted “family friendly” drag shows on Sundays, but the new Florida law is forcing them to ban children from all shows, leading to a 20% drop in Sunday bookings.
