Ron DeSantis Is Now Attacking the Hyatt Regency Because It Hosted a Drag Show
The Florida governor has been waging a war on drag and on LGBTQ people in his state.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis moved Tuesday to strip the Hyatt Regency of its liquor license for allegedly allowing minors to attend a Christmastime drag show.

DeSantis, who has been cracking down on LGBTQ rights, filed an administrative complaint through the state Department of Business and Professional Regulation accusing the hotel in Miami of allowing people under age 18 to attend a “sexually explicit” drag performance.


----------------------
The DeSantis administration is moving to strip a major Miami hotel of its liquor license after hosting a Christmas-themed drag queen show in December with children present despite warnings.

The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation warned the Hyatt Regency Miami against hosting a "sexually explicit show with children present," but the hotel did anyway, according to a statement from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' office.

"Therefore, the Department is revoking the venue’s license for the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages," the statement adds. "Sexually explicit content is not appropriate to display to children and doing so violates Florida law. Governor DeSantis stands up for the innocence of children in the classroom and throughout Florida."

"A Drag Queen Christmas" took place in late December and was initially promoted by the hotel with Christmas-themed materials that did not warn of sexually explicit content and included the words "all ages welcome," according the complaint.

After the venue was warned against having children at the event, promotional materials were updated to include a disclaimer that the show was "recommended for audiences 18+," but the admission policies still allowed for children to attend if accompanied by an adult, the complaint states.

he go after Hyatt. Those corporate asses who have been backing the little wanna be dictator better wake the fuck up before it’s too late.

4. I foresee a number of federal lawsuits heading towards the state of Florida and I do not think the

state taxpayers are going to enjoy having to shell out the amount of $$$ its going to cost them when the state loses.

6. That's just a bonus for the fascist DeSatan

He'd do it anyway, just like with Disney

7. Imagine if a Democratic Governor stripped the liquor license of a venue that hosted CPAC.

Or an anti-abortion group. Or a firearms trade group.

8. Excellent point.

All of CNNBCIABCBS would throw a fit, led by Fox Noiseworks, of course.

9. Better not let your children watch reruns of MASH

Drag Cpl. Klinger might come on.

10. Even the threat will likely have the desired effect.

Does Hyatt have the desire to fight in court over whether drag shows are "sexually explicit"? They're not, but it's expense and risk their legal dept will weigh.

Just like Walgreens and 'bortion pills.

12. Note to deSATAN: MerdeDaLooney is crawling with crooks, sleezes, traitors.

13. Was the show really sexually explicit?

Wondering what they consider sexually explicit and what happened in the show to make that conclusion.

Ban the child abuse of child beauty pageants!!!
