DeSantis attempts to revoke Miami hotel's liquor license over drag show

“The administration of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is seeking to revoke the liquor license of a Miami hotel for holding a Christmas-themed drag show in the presence of children.

“A Drag Queen Christmas” was held Dec. 27 at the Hyatt Regency Miami hotel as a part of a larger holiday-themed drag show tour. The tour featured several stars from Emmy-winning competition show “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and took place across 36 U.S. cities. Minors were permitted if they were accompanied by an adult.

In a 17-page complaint filed Tuesday with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco, which the department shared with NBC News, the DeSantis administration argued that the hotel violated Florida statutes on lewdness by hosting the show.

The complaint cites a 1947 state Supreme Court case that found “men impersonating women” constitutes a public nuisance. It also argues that the hotel exposed children to “simulated sexual activity, and lewd, vulgar, and indecent displays.”…more at link

When is this fascism going to stop and, more to the point, when is he going to be? Why are businesses putting up with his dictates? And why aren’t citizens fighting bck?

1. You literally can legally take your 5 year old to watch The Human Centipede in a movie theater

I mean, if you're an absolutely sick and disgusting person, and it was still out in theaters.

(if you don't know what it's like/about, don't go look it up, trust me).

But take your teenager to a drag show? OMFG that cannot stand!

2. It won't stop. We have to fight back against Fox and other right wing propaganda outlets.

3. Unfortunately, Florida does not have a recall provision.

Not that it would succeed, but I can guarantee there would be an effort if it was an avenue open to anti-fascist pro-democracy Floridians.

7. I'd like to see a nationwide movement to dress in drag for Halloween.

Let’s mock DeSantis and his moronic minions who are targeting the Drag community.

Men can dress as women, nuns, nurses, waitresses, queens…literally the options are endless. And then we should dress in drag every day thereafter! It seems extreme but IMO it’s the way to combat this shit.

We have serious problems in Florida like homeowners insurance that is sky high, home costs that are out of control, and existential environmental issues.

Instead this MoFo is worried about Drag. I had no idea it was such a problem, probably because it isn’t.

8. I Think Of THe Flip Wilson & Carol Burnett Shows

where drag was a daily occurrence. Milton Berle (whom your grands probably watched) used to do so and on Broadway they are re-doing "Some Like It Hot" ...even Gooliani dressed in drag and ....lovd it
