https://news.yahoo.com/undercover-agents-saw-nothing-lewd-120000748.htmlThe Dec. 28 performance featured campy skits like Screwdolph the Red-Nippled Man Deer and shimmying, bare-chested men who wouldnt have been out of place at a Madonna concert. Also a hip thrust or two, similar to what is sometimes indulged in by NFL players after a touchdown. All of it was dutifully recorded by the undercover agents on state-issued iPhones.
But while the agents took photos of three minors at the Orlando drag show who appeared to be accompanied by adults they acknowledged that nothing indecent had happened on stage, according to an incident report obtained exclusively by the Miami Herald.
Besides some of the outfits being provocative (bikinis and short shorts), agents did not witness any lewd acts such as exposure of genital organs, the brief report stated. The performers did not have any physical contact while performing to the rhythm of the music with any patrons.
Still, the states Department of Business and Professional Regulation proceeded to file a complaint against the nonprofit that runs Plaza Live, claiming the venue had illegally exposed children to sexual content. The complaint, issued Feb. 3, seeks to strip the small, nonprofit theater of its liquor license a serious blow that would likely put it out of business.

I hope the ACLU or some other organization will countersunk because it's obvious that FL is using its regulatory authority to suppress free speech.
