A U.S. judge<\/a> on Friday blocked a new Florida law restricting drag performances, the third time this month federal courts have enjoined laws backed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that concern gender or LGBTQ matters.<\/p>\n

In all three cases, the issues supported by DeSantis<\/a>, a Republican presidential candidate, lost on grounds the laws appear to infringe on people’s constitutional rights.<\/p>\n

In Friday’s decision, U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell of the Middle District of Florida<\/a> granted an injunction preventing the state from enforcing a law that bans minors from attending obscene live performances, calling it too broad.<\/p>\n

The judge refused to dismiss the law entirely, meaning the underlying lawsuit challenging it will go forward.<\/p>\n

The governor’s office said the judge was “dead wrong” and predicted the state would win on appeal.<\/p>\n

“Of course it’s constitutional to prevent the sexualization of children by limiting access to adult live performances,” DeSantis spokesperson Jeremy Redfern said in an email.<\/p>\n

Hamburger Mary’s, an Orlando bar and restaurant<\/a> that presents drag show performances, comedy sketches and dancing, filed the lawsuit in response to a law DeSantis signed in May.<\/p>\n

Hamburger Mary’s argued the law was written so broadly as to have a “chilling effect” on First Amendment rights to free speech guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution<\/a>. The judge agreed, finding the plaintiff was likely to succeed at trial on First Amendment grounds.<\/p>\n

“Florida already has statutes that provide such protection (from obscene performances). Rather, this statute is specifically designed to suppress the speech of drag queen performers,” Presnell wrote.<\/p>\n

While many drag performers are gay, the genre has grown increasingly mainstream. Opponents of drag have associated it with wider LGBTQ issues<\/a> that conservatives consider contrary to traditional values.<\/p>\n

DeSantis has been at the forefront of a conservative campaign restricting LGBTQ rights.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, another judge struck down a Florida rule and a statute that banned state Medicaid payments for transgender health care.<\/p>\n

That same judge on June 6 partially blocked Florida from enforcing its recent ban on people under 18 receiving gender care, such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy.<\/p>\n

In both cases, U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle of the Northern District of Florida cited 14th Amendment guarantees to equal protection under the law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
