A block on Florida’s law preventing children from attending sexually explicit live performances will remain in place statewide, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration is asking a federal appeals court to largely put on hold a ruling that blocked a new law aimed at preventing children from attending adult live performances.

A ruling that blocks Florida law regarding adult live entertainment and children will not be limited to just the restaurant suing the state, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

A federal judge is now mulling over whether to stop a new Florida law from taking effect that some say targets drag performances.

Hamburger Mary’s owner John Paonessa said he is hanging a sign in front of his restaurant that reads no children under 18 allowed during drag shows.

A bill Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law involving adult entertainment and children, including drag shows, is already having a detrimental effect on at least one Orlando business and it is suing to stop the bill.

Officials in a southwest Florida city have canceled a gay pride parade and restricted other pride events to people 21 years and older.

An Orlando performing arts venue is having its liquor license revoked after it hosted a Christmas drag show in December, according to state officials.
