Hamburger Mary's Sues Florida Governor Over Drag Show Law
Hamburger Mary's Orlando, a popular restaurant that hosts drag brunches, has filed a lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, claiming that a new law signed last week has caused them to lose business. The law, which restricts the attendance of children at certain performances, has been interpreted by LGBTQ+ advocates as a crackdown on drag shows. The restaurant is asking the court to block the implementation of the law, claiming that it violates their First Amendment rights. The law was a priority for DeSantis, who has elevated cultural battles in political speeches across the country.
