Drag brunches have become a popular form of entertainment in Southern California, with Hamburger Mary's introducing the concept to the region in 2001. Today, there are numerous drag brunch options available, featuring a variety of performers and menus. While tipping is customary, it's important to bring cash as some venues may not have on-site ATMs. Drag brunches offer a unique opportunity to celebrate the art form and support LGBTQ+ performers.

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.

Hamburger Mary's sues Florida over law targeting drag shows.

Hamburger Mary's, an Orlando restaurant, is suing the state of Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis over a new law that they say will hurt their business. The law imposes fines and license suspensions for hotels and restaurants that admit children into adult performances. The owners of Hamburger Mary's claim the law is too vague and bookings fell 20% in May after they told customers children could no longer come to the drag shows. Legal experts say the law might work in the restaurant's favor, given its vagueness.

Hamburger Mary's sues Florida over drag show restrictions.

Hamburger Mary's, a restaurant chain, has filed a lawsuit against Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis over a recently enacted law that bans minors from attending drag performances. The suit claims that the law violates the First Amendment right of free expression and is too broad, potentially encompassing even innocent drag performances. The plaintiffs have asked for a temporary restraining order to halt the state from implementing the law. This is the second lawsuit filed on Monday, with the ACLU of Florida also suing the state to block a law barring citizens from certain countries from owning property in Florida.
