The restaurant chain Hamburger Marys is suing Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida over its recently enacted ban on minors attending drag performances, claiming that the state is depriving it of its First Amendment right of free expression. The suit, filed in federal court in central Florida, alleges that the law the governor signed into law Wednesday is so broad that it has a chilling effect on protected speech.

At issue is a measure the Republican-led Legislature approved in April that bars minors from attending drag shows with lewd performances. The governor has personally called for tighter restrictions around such shows, which he says sexualize children. The plaintiffs of the suit, however, argue that Floridas law is too broad and could encompass even the most innocent drag performances. Hamburger Marys also asked a judge to grant a temporary restraining order to halt the state from implementing the law."

Tennessee's law has yet to be challenged in court though.

Seems fair to me. Begs the question of what is "lewd" and who gets to define the term.

The reason why this restaurant's getting involved is because they frequently have drag performers entertain there. A lot of the drag performers I watch have mentioned having shows at Hamburger Mary's.

As is always the case with DeSantis, things are left vague so they can be weaponized against the marginalized groups he rails against.
