Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed this week a law prohibiting minors from participating in “drag” shows.
The law is already in effect and responds to growing concern over children and teenagers being exposed to sexualized content at public events, where adults dressed in female attire perform in front of young audiences.
State authorities emphasize that the law aims to protect childhood, restore common sense, and reinforce parental authority in the education of their children.
Republican lawmakers defended the measure, highlighting that parents’ right to decide what their children are exposed to should take precedence over ideological agendas that promote sexualized behavior from an early age.
