The Florida law that limits drag shows in the state will remain blocked, the Supreme Court said Thursday, dealing a blow to a key initiative championed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Florida had asked the high court to narrow a lower court’s injunction that stopped the law from being enforced statewide. The justices declined to do so.

Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch said they would have allowed the law to take effect.

    the rhetoric was about stopping the shows, regardless of the age of the audience

    Maybe the rhetoric from the people that want to take their kids to overtly sexual drag shows, but no one was trying to ban drag shows.

    Much like with transgender surgery, no one cares if adults do drag - just keep the children out of it.
