    Ah yes, the quixotic crusade of DeSantis continues, all to pander for that precious vote from people that seem to fear others.

    Ron took time out of his busy day to file a complaint about a drag show, because, well, that is what is important to him. Drag shows. Something about alcohol being sold at an all ages show, and somehow that violates something about sexual content, which seems very open to interpretation, and all because.........stuff like that matters to people?

    https://thehill.com/homenews/state-...-philharmonic-for-hosting-drag-holiday-event/

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) administration has filed a complaint against an Orlando foundation over a drag holiday event it hosted in which minors were allowed to attend the show.

    The complaint, which was filed Friday, alleges that the Orlando Philharmonic Plaza Foundation violated state law in allowing for a person to “commit lewd or lascivious exhibition” in the presence of an individual who is less than 16 years old.

    The state’s Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation filed the complaint in its capacity as a regulator of alcohol. It is attempting to revoke the foundation’s liquor license for six alleged counts of violating Florida statutes.

    The complaint states that the division sent the foundation a letter ahead of the show saying “sexually explicit drag show performances constitute public nuisances, lewd activity, and disorderly conduct when minors are in attendance” and the foundation’s license could be subject to penalties if it did not ensure minors could not attend the event.

    No one is above the law and it’s nice to see a governor enforcing it.

    Does anyone here know the exact date the memo came out calling for people to take kids to drag shows? I’m here to tell ya, I’d rather see gorgeous babes singing and dancing instead of someone with an Adam’s apple, five o’clock shadows and big feet.

    Do you both have an issue with children attending a football game when there are cheerleaders?

    How about children going to hooters?

    Conservatives, especially the religious verity, always have to have someone to hate.

    They went from Indians to blacks to women to Asians to Muslims to gays and now we are at the trans / drag portion. It looks like they would be more interested in the actual child rape going on within their own religious organizations but I haven’t seen a single one calling for an investigation or stopping children from attending.

    There is a special place in hell for people that use kids as a political pawn when the real intent is bigotry and not actually protecting them.

    What’s sexually explicit at hooters or a football game? Plus those are real women.

    Dude, when it comes to hate, you should consider the things you’ve said about Catholics and priests but never Muslims.

    And each time you deflect / defend what the church in the US is responsible for.

    Every time you say this I condemn religious extremism and hiding sexual abuse from any religious organization. Muslims just simply don’t have the same level of scandal in the US as Catholics and Christian churches.

    Liberals are using drag queens to troll conservatives. Perhaps one day the dragsters will realize they're being used.

    No big surprise. He is 100% focused on going after the LGBT and blacks, while ignoring real issues like home insurance crises.

    Its the invisible boogieman who invented gays at Mount Doom in Mordor.

    You don't know that.

    Um, such as liberal libraries that have drag queen story hours for kids? Some liberal dude or dudette came up with that knowing it would cause a stink.

    I never thought there would be a day when in USA the government took over parenting, but clearly the day has arrived.

    why does the right have children at Mardi Gras

    I would not take children to either

    heterosexuals even give little children beads... arrest them.. grooming children

    it seems some heterosexuals and some homosexuals like to be sexual in public, why?

    My entire agenda is to look at real women? With an argument like that it’s almost like your agenda is to see kids look at men doing sexually explicit stuff.

    You brought hate against gays Muslims, blacks, etc. Have you watched the news lately? Black leaders are condemning white people, white democrats are condemning white people, everyone on the left is condemning white people all because of something black people did. Who is doing that to blacks, Asians, Muslims or anyone else you mentioned earlier?

    Asians have been getting pummeled and it wasn’t from whites. And let’s not forget how the left despises Jews.

    Anyway, what is the purpose of watching men dressed up as women and why do kids need to see their sexually overt shows?

    Are kids on school field trips being taken to drag shows? Can they opt out?

    From the article:

    The division alleges the foundation responded to the letter by placing a notice at the entrance of the venue that said the show might not be appropriate for people under 18, but it is not restricted. It said children appearing to be younger than 6 attended the show.
