Anti-Drag Show Laws Cause Cancellation of Pride Parades in Florida and North Carolina
TL;DR Summary
A gay pride parade in Port St. Lucie, Florida has been canceled and other pride events have been restricted to people 21 years and older due to a bill that bans children from adult performances, including drag shows. The bill awaits the signature of Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and would allow the state to revoke the food and beverage licenses of businesses that admit children to adult performances. The decision to change the Pridefest events was made after multiple conversations with Port St. Lucie officials.
