On Wednesday, Republican governor of Florida Ron DeSantis reportedly approved legislation that will penalize companies that let kids watch drag performances.
According to the Florida House of Representatives website, the “Protection of Children” measure was forwarded to the governor in April after passing the state Senate with a vote of 28 to 12 and the state House of Representatives with a vote of 82 to 32.
The new rule prohibits companies from allowing minors within drag performances conducted at their locations, and government organizations are empowered to penalize, suspend, or revoke the licenses of enterprises that break the ban.
Children were allegedly among the audience of a drag show with a Christmas theme that traveled through many Florida communities.
The artists performed sex activities and sang parodies of well-known Christmas tunes.
DeSantis also finalized the measure that forbids transgender children from receiving gender-affirming medical treatment.
“We are going to remain a refuge of sanity and a citadel of normalcy,” DeSantis announced during a signing ceremony on Wednesday.
