Federal Judge Halts Florida's Anti-Drag Law
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge has issued an injunction blocking a Florida law that would have imposed fines and other penalties on businesses that host drag shows, citing concerns that the law violates the First Amendment rights of performers and patrons. The law, which was set to take effect on July 1, had been criticized by LGBTQ+ advocates as discriminatory. The judge's order means that the law will not be enforced while a lawsuit challenging its constitutionality proceeds.
