Florida's Don't Say Gay Governor Looks to Ban Kids from Drag Shows

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signaled he would consider a law stripping rights from parents who take their children to drag shows.

After video of a “Drag the Kids to Pride” event in Dallas sparked right-wing outrage, several GOP lawmakers proposed laws restricting children from drag shows.

In Florida, state Rep. Anthony Sabatini, a Republican candidate for Congress, proposed legislation to charge parents with felonies and terminate the parental rights of any adult who brings a child “to these perverted sex shows aimed at FL kids.”

“When will the sexualization of children stop?” Sabatini tweeted.

Asked about Sabatini’s proposal at a press conference Friday, DeSantis, a prospective Republican candidate for president, said he would consider signing the law.
