The Florida law that limits drag shows in the state will remain blocked, the Supreme Court said Thursday, dealing a blow to a key initiative championed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Florida had asked the high court to narrow a lower court’s injunction that stopped the law from being enforced statewide. The justices declined to do so.

Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch said they would have allowed the law to take effect.

      That poster said kids should be able to watch sexualized drags shows because of “free speech”, so that would also apply to other forms of entertainment, like porn. If age restrictions on media and performances are infringing on free speech then restricting porn to adults is a free speech violation.
