Hamburger Mary's Bar and Grill in downtown Orlando is pushing back against Florida Governor Ron DeSatis who last week signed a bill that targets adult performances that includes drag shows, which Hamburger Mary's regularly feature. Hamburger Mary's is a national chain, and is home to popular weekly drag shows that regularly attract families with young children, here in Orlando Hamburger Mary's has been open since 2008 on Church Street, with the popular restaurant hosting several themed events and drag brunches for the community every week, but after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a new law restricting such shows, the business say that already the new laws are having a detrimental effect on their bottom line. Now in response to the new legislation, Hamburger Mary's in Orlando is filing a federal lawsuit against the state of Florida and DeSantis, claiming the bill is a violation of its First Amendment rights Hamburger Mary's Orlando say that the were forced to cancel its ever popular Sunday Brunch that included family-friendly performances with many families in regular attendance. now owners say that in addition to being forced to cancel the Sunday drag shows, families have already stopped coming to the restaurant, citing a 20% drop in reservations. In a Facebook post, the owners explain why they are filing the lawsuit, with Orlando co-owner Michael Rogier commenting "This bill has nothing to do with children, and everything to do with the continued oppression of the LGBTQ+ community," Here is the full statement from Hamburger Mary's Orlando on Facebook: To get ahead of this story... After many days of consideration, Mike Rogier and I have made the decision to file a lawsuit against our Governor for his signing of Senate Bill 1438 - Protection of Children. This bill has nothing to do with children, and everything to do with the continued oppression of the LGBTQ+ community. Anytime our legislaters want to demonize a group, they say they are coming for your children. In this case, creating a false narrative that drag queens are grooming and recruiting your children with no factual basis or history to back up these accusations AT ALL! Our transgender friends are being vilified because our legislaters will not take the time to understand the importance of gender affirming care for these people. With depression and suicide, it can mean the difference between life and death. The state is taking over our educational system and removing any books, courses or content that has anything to do with LGBTQ+. Removing courses that have any reference to African American History. When does it stop? They are setting a precedent that the state legislaters can decide what is best for you based on THEIR own values and convictions, and write it into law. We've spent too many years moving forward. We can't go back! I hope we have your support.

Maynard James Keenan, frontman of metal band Tool has send a loud and proud message to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his apparent stance against the LGBTQ+ community. During a headline performance on Sunday at rock festival, Welcome to Rockville that took place within Daytona international Speedway, Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan, took to the stage in drag, complete with spaghetti strap shirt, blonde hair, prosthetic breasts and smeared bright red lipstick! The gesture was seen as a protest against recent headline making Florida legislature that targets drag shows and the LGBTQ+ community. This month, Gov DeSantis signed bills that ban gender-affirming care for minors, target drag shows, restrict discussion of personal pronouns in schools and force people to use certain bathrooms. Republicans say that the bill is to protect children and make it illegal for businesses to allow parents to bring their kids to “adult live performances.” but critics see it as a way to ban venues in Florida from allowing children into drag shows specifically. The measure will allow state regulators to suspend the liquor license of businesses that violate the law.

Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color." The formal notice from NAACP is the organizations response to what they call Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict any diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools. In response to the travel advisory Mayor Jerry Demings has been quick to say that Orange County is a community that values diversity and embraces inclusion, and that hate is never welcome in Orange County.

More and more organisations are calling out Florida as an unwelcome state to travel citing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' and recent legislation that he has signed into law. Recently we have had two advocacy groups warning that travelers might be at risk if they visit the state of Florida, citing recent legislation that's hostile toward LGBTQ people as well as other communities. Equality Florida, an LGBTQ advocacy group, warned that "Florida may not be a safe place to move or visit" over the state's anti-LGBTQ laws, restrictions on access to reproductive health care, its repeal of gun safety laws and racial prejudice, then The Florida Immigrant Coalition also issued a blunt advisory to those considering visiting Florida, advising that travel to all parts of Florida "should be done with extreme caution," particularly for people of color and individuals with accents or who are traveling from abroad. Now civil rights organization, The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have issued a travel advisory for those travelling to Florida, citing state laws that they say are restricting diversity, equity, and inclusion. The formal notice from NAACP is the organizations response to what they call Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict any diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools. The travel advisor notice from NAACP is on the organisation's website, and it reads: "Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals. Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color." "Let me be clear - failing to teach an accurate representation of the horrors and inequalities that Black Americans have faced and continue to face is a disservice to students and a dereliction of duty to all," said NAACP President & CEO Derrick Johnson. "Under the leadership of Governor Desantis, the state of Florida has become hostile to Black Americans and in direct conflict with the democratic ideals that our union was founded upon. He should know that democracy will prevail because its defenders are prepared to stand up and fight. We're not backing down, and we encourage our allies to join us in the battle for the soul of our nation." The travel advisory was initially proposed to the Board of Directors by NAACP's Florida State Conference. NAACP's consideration of this advisory is a result from what they say are unrelenting attacks on fundamental freedoms from the Governor and his legislative body. "Once again, hate-inspired state leaders have chosen to put politics over people. Governor Ron DeSantis and the state of Florida have engaged in a blatant war against principles of diversity and inclusion and rejected our shared identities to appeal to a dangerous, extremist minority," said Chair of the NAACP Board of Directors, Leon Russell. "We will not not allow our rights and history to be held hostage for political grandstanding. The NAACP proudly fights against the malicious attacks in Florida, against Black Americans. I encourage my fellow Floridians to join in this fight to protect ourselves and our democracy."
