TL;DR Summary

A federal judge has temporarily blocked a new Florida law targeting drag shows, which was championed by Governor Ron DeSantis. The law punished venues for allowing children into "adult live performances," and venues that violated the law faced fines and the prospect of their liquor licenses being suspended or revoked. The judge granted a preliminary injunction stopping the law from being enforced until a trial is held to determine its constitutionality. The complaint was brought by the owner of a restaurant and bar in Orlando, which regularly hosts drag shows, including family-friendly performances on Sundays where children were invited to attend.
