The state’s business regulators have launched an inquiry into a Broward County drag show that was allegedly attended by children, according to a statement this week by a spokesman for Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“The Department is actively investigating this matter, including video footage and photographs from the event,” DeSantis spokesman Bryan Griffin posted on Twitter in a post that has garnered over 250,000 views. “DPBR will, like in other cases, take action. “The Department has reason to believe that this drag show is of a sexual nature….”warning,”…if you allow children to attend the Drag Fans drag show at your facility, you are putting your license in jeopardy.”The Broward Center for the Performing Arts, the Fort Lauderdale venue that hosted the holiday drag performance at the center of the state’s investigation, may be at risk of losing its liquor license and its ability to operate as a business in Florida, the statement said.
