Supreme Court Blocks Florida's Anti-Drag Law Enforcement

The Supreme Court has upheld a lower court's injunction blocking a Florida law that limits drag shows in the state. The law, known as the "Protection of Children Act," aimed to prevent the exposure of children to sexually explicit live performances. The court's decision means that the law cannot be enforced until the legal challenge is resolved. Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch expressed their support for the law, while Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett acknowledged the First Amendment complexities of the case. The law was challenged by a popular Orlando restaurant that hosts drag brunches, arguing that it resulted in a loss of business. The case will continue in lower courts, and the broader implications for anti-drag laws remain uncertain.
