An appeals court in Florida has allowed a ban on drag shows for kids to move forward, and the fact that this had to be done in the first place is a problem.

Per CBS:

A federal appeals court Tuesday determined Florida's law banning children from drag shows is constitutional, tossing aside an earlier ruling that found it violated the First Amendment.

While expression in this country is certainly “free,” that “freedom” does not override childhood innocence. Glad we cleared that up for the drag “queens” in the back.

In an 8-5 ruling, the court found Hamburger Mary's, an Orlando-area restaurant that frequently features drag performances and brought the lawsuit, "failed to establish a substantial likelihood of success on the merits."

According to DeSantis, “This shouldn’t even be controversial, yet our law protecting kids required us to fend off lawsuits and win a case before a divided appellate court.”

This is an understatement, and again, the fact that this had to be done shows you just how much work society has to do to overcome this sort of degeneracy.

There is nothing family-friendly about these shows. There is a reason it is classified as “adult entertainment," as it is not safe for young eyes. Why are many on the left so determined to challenge these societal norms? Why are so many “queens” trying to gain access to Florida’s youth? Something is not adding up.

Hamburger Mary's argued the law was too broad and infringed on its First and Fourteenth Amendment rights, but the majority of the court disagreed.

"The Supreme Court of Florida's definition of 'lewd' eliminates any overbreadth, and the use of the phrase 'age of the child present' does not render the Act unconstitutionally vague. Accordingly, we vacate the district court's preliminary injunction in its entirety," wrote Judge Andrew Brasher.

You would have to be objectively stupid to believe this law is “vague” or has anything to do with the First Amendment. Some laws are unconstitutional; this is not one of those laws. Society has an obligation to protect children, and it just so happens they are not safe at these events. And again, to claim this should not be controversial would be putting it lightly.
