11th Circuit deals blow to DeSantis Admin on drag shows for children crackdown


A 2-1 decision by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday upheld a previous injunction that halted a new Florida law restricting children from attending certain adult live performances, such as drag shows. The ruling denied a request from Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration for a partial stay on the injunction, originally put in place by U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell, who was appointed to the federal bench by President Bill Clinton in the final months of his presidency.

DeSantis’ lawyers had argued the injunction should be limited to Orlando restaurant Hamburger Mary’s, which had filed the initial lawsuit. However, the court extended the ruling to all venues statewide.
