Florida's statewide prosecutor has subpoenaed records of a popular restaurant after it hosted an LGBTQ Pride event last month that the prosecutor's office says was open to all ages, even though a recent state law that restricts venues from admitting children to “adult” performances has been blocked by courts.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier claimed in a statement Tuesday that the event at the Kilted Mermaid in Vero Beach had “adult, sexualized performers in front of children." His office on Tuesday did not respond to repeated inquiries asking which laws may have been violated.
