Presnell, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, granted the preliminary injunction stopping the law from being enforced until a trial is held to determine its constitutionality.
The bill was signed into law by DeSantis last month as the Republican presidential hopeful passed a bundle of what critics have called anti-LGTBQ legislation, including a banthat don’t align with their sex at birth and restricting discussion of personal pronouns in schools.
Though the law did not mention drag shows specifically, the sponsor of the legislation said it was aimed at those performances. The law was legally challenged almost immediately after it was passed by the popular Orlando restaurant Hamburger Mary’s, which had hosted “family-friendly” drag shows on Sundays. The new Florida law has forced them to ban children from all shows.
