two weeks ago about the ambitious Florida Republican targeting, of all things, the Orlando Philharmonic’s liquor license.
Evidently, late last year, the historic Plaza Live theater in Orlando — a venue run by the Orlando Philharmonic Plaza Foundation — hosted an event called “A Drag Queen Christmas.” That wasn’t especially remarkable: The same theater has hosted the same event every year for nearly a decade. There wasn’t much to report. As the Herald’s article explained, those in attendance saw some “bare-chested men who wouldn’t have been out of place at a Madonna concert,” and a couple of hip thrusts that spectators might’ve seen at a football game after a touchdown.
In fact, even after the undercover agents specifically concluded, in writing, that they “did not witness any lewd acts,” the DeSantis administration’s complaint said the venue had allowed children to see “acts of sexual conduct, simulated sexual activity, and lewd, vulgar and indecent displays” in violation of state decency laws.
