In a case filed by Hamburger Mary’s in Orlando, a federal appeals court backed a ruling that temporarily blocked a statewide new law that would prevent children from attending drag shows. A panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 decision, rejected a request by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration to modify a preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell. The request, if granted, would have allowed the law to be enforced against almost all venues in the state while an underlying appeal of Presnell’s ruling played out. Presnell issued the injunction in a lawsuit filed by the Orlando restaurant but also applied the injunction to venues statewide. In this majority opinion, Judges Adalberto Jordan and Robin Rosenbaum said Presnell ruled that the law was likely overbroad and unconstitutional under the First Amendment and pointed to legal precedents saying that there are cases where a law is overbroad in violation of the First Amendment and the justice system have affirmed injunctions preventing enforcement of a law against nonparties as well as parties. Hamburger Mary’s, which said it has run family-friendly drag shows for 15 years, filed the lawsuit in May, and Presnell ruled on June 23 that the law is not sufficiently tailored to meet First Amendment standards. #Queer Up Courts
