Last week, the Supreme Court of the United States rejected Florida's plea to counter an order blocking a recent law barring minors from attending drag shows. Despite Florida's request for intervention coming as early as October, a significant grid of the high court upheld the decision to leave the order uninterrupted.

This entire controversy began with Hamburger Mary's, a well-liked restaurant chain in Florida, taking legal action against the state last summer. Their contention was that the newly instituted 'Florida’s Protection of Children Act' had an overreaching scope and impinged upon the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech.

The aforementioned Protective Act, sanctioned by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in May, presented a foundational shift in the way the state's youth could interact with 'adult performances.' Precluding any knowing admission of a child to events of this nature became the law of the land in Florida.

An interesting perspective that arises from this saga is the political angle: how do we interpret adult performances which, according to Governor DeSantis, tend to sexualize young children? Drawn into the controversy is the broad definition of the 'Protection of Children Act', which has implications for both the present and future legislations.
