TL;DR

Hamburger Mary's, a restaurant chain, has filed a lawsuit against Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis over a recently enacted law that bans minors from attending drag performances. The suit claims that the law violates the First Amendment right of free expression and is too broad, potentially encompassing even innocent drag performances. The plaintiffs have asked for a temporary restraining order to halt the state from implementing the law. This is the second lawsuit filed on Monday, with the ACLU of Florida also suing the state to block a law barring citizens from certain countries from owning property in Florida.
