Florida Appeals to Supreme Court to Uphold Anti-Drag Show Law

Florida's attorney general has asked the US Supreme Court to allow a law that restricts drag shows to take effect while legal challenges are ongoing. The law, known as the "Protection of Children Act," aims to prevent children from being exposed to sexually explicit live performances. A federal court judge had previously blocked the law, citing concerns about free speech and due process. The law was challenged by a popular Orlando restaurant, Hamburger Mary's, which hosts drag brunches and claimed that it resulted in a loss of business. Florida is now seeking relief from the Supreme Court to enforce the law, arguing that it only applies to sexually explicit shows and is necessary to protect children.
