Florida’s liquor licensing authority has opened a proceeding to strip a Miami hotel of its license to sell alcoholic beverages three months after it hosted a holiday-themed drag show featuring performers from the Emmy-award winning programme RuPaul’s Drag Race but did not block any minors from attending.
In a complaint filed with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco earlier this week, the administration of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis argued the hotel violated Florida’s public nuisances statute by hosting the show, which was accessible to minors if accompanied by an adult.
