Federal court upholds Florida law banning children from drag shows

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A federal court has ruled against an Orlando restaurant that challenged a Florida law restricting children from attending drag shows.

Hamburger Mary’s has been at the center of the case since 2023. The restaurant challenged the law, which labels the shows as “adult performances” and bans children from attending.

A judge ruled the law is constitutional, disagreeing with a lower court that found it violated the First Amendment.
