TL;DR Summary

A federal judge has ruled against a new Florida law that cracks down on certain "adult live performances" and could revoke the liquor license of any establishment that allows children to attend performances that include lewd exposure to "prosthetic or imitation genitals and breasts." The law did not specifically mention drag performances, but opponents said it was part of a slate of laws aimed at "erasing" the LGBTQ community. The ruling means that the state cannot enforce the law unless it prevails at trial. The law was opposed by Democrats and others who said it was vague and unnecessary and amounted to an attempt to outlaw drag performances.
