  • Federal court is where DeSantis' fascist dreams go to die.

    • Is it really fascist to want kids to not be exposed to pornographic material :I

      • This is not actually about pornographic content. Florida already had laws to protect from actually obscene material.

        Drag queen story time and drag acts that do not contain nudity are not pornographic.

        • Correct. Misleading wording like this is how they manage to trick ignorant people into supporting hateful laws like this one - assuming they're not supporting these laws precisely because they're hateful.

          The LGBTQ+ community (including drag queens) absolutely and unequivocally does NOT support pedophilia in any form. This includes exposing children to pornographic material. That's fucking canon and you can quote me on that shit.

          • There's some videos floating around of drag shows with sensual dancing with children present. I'm not saying all Drag presentations are like this, but maybe the law should've been more specific to these kinds of situations.
