Restaurant Sues Florida Governor Over Law Targeting Drag Shows

Hamburger Mary's, a popular Orlando restaurant that features drag shows, has filed a federal lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the state, claiming that a new law targeting drag performances has hurt their business and targeted the LGBTQ community. The law, SB 1438, prohibits children from attending "adult live performances," but opponents argue that the vague language will be used to target family-friendly drag shows and Pride events while further marginalizing the LGBTQ community. DeSantis has signed four bills that directly or indirectly target transgender people and the broader LGBTQ community.
