Florida Government Revokes Liquor License Of Venue That Allowed Children To Attend Sexualized Drag Show

Citizens nationwide have watched in horror as children have been in attendance at some of the most sexually charged drag shows we’ve ever seen. Many have asked the question, why are children at these shows and more importantly, why is nothing being done to stop this?

Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida has stepped up to the plate and “The Plaza Live”, a music venue in Orlando, has officially gotten its liquor license revoked for allowing children to attend the inappropriate “A Drag Queen Christmas” show back in December of 2022. 

“The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation is “revoking” the Orlando Philharmonic Plaza Foundation’s liquor license after a “sexual” drag show permitted entry to minors,” Florida’s voice tweeted Friday. 

Governor DeSantis had previously warned businesses that they would be held accountable for, “exposing children to inappropriate sexualized content.” With Fox35 Orlando reporting that, The Plaza Live was given warning by The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, “not to allow children inside if there will be inappropriate content.” Further adding that they could take action against the venue’s license. 

However, the venue ignored these warnings and young children were seen in attendance at, “A Drag Queen Christmas,” where children were exposed to adult characters such as ‘Screwdolph the Red-Nippled Reindeer.”

The Department of Business and Professional Regulation launched an investigation after complaints were made that children were at the show stating that, “exposing children to sexually explicit activity is a crime in Florida, and such action violates the Department’s licensing standards for operating a business and holding a liquor license.”

The Plaza Live has since officially gotten their liquor license revoked essentially halting the sale of alcohol at their venue.

Parents across the nation have watched in horror as children have been allowed to attend extremely sexualized drag shows, with many applauding the leadership of Governor DeSantis who is putting his foot down and holding business owners accountable for exposing children to adult themed shows.
