The decision comes only a day after another federal court overturned another DeSantis-backed law prohibiting gender-affirming care treatment from being covered by Medicaid.
The drag show law was challenged by an Orlando restaurant,, which has hosted such performances for 15 years, including those it described as “family friendly.”
The judge also raised doubts about state claims that blocking the law would “harm the public by exposing children to"adult live performances." Florida's law defines “adult live performances,” in part as “any show, exhibition or other presentation in front of a live audience which, in whole or in part, depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement or specific sexual activities... lewd conduct, or the lewd exposure of prosthetic or imitation genitals or breasts.”
The Hyatt Regency Miami hotel was threatened with the loss of its liquor license for hosting a “Drag Queen Christmas,” in December.Law 'designed to suppress the speech of drag queen performers' In a Facebook post, the owners also said they thought the bill had nothing to do with children and “everything to do with the continued oppression of the LGBTQ+ community.”“This statute is specifically designed to suppress the speech of drag queen performers,” Presnell wrote in his 24-page decision. “In the words of the bill’s sponsor in the House, State Representative Randy Fine: will protect our children by ending the gateway propaganda to this evil – ‘Drag Queen Story Time.
