Florida regulators announced that they reached a settlement with a Miami hotel this week, ending a legal dispute over a holiday drag show the hotel hosted last year.
Earlier this year, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation sought to revoke the liquor license of the Hyatt Regency Miami after the hotel held a Christmas-themed drag show in the presence of minors.

Conservative outrage over drag was so 2022. Wonder what it will be this holiday season?

From the article you posted:
"The settlement caps off a year that included an unprecedented push from state lawmakers across the U.S. to restrict drag, a decades-old art form that has deep roots with the LGBTQ community. Lawmakers in over a dozen states have introduced laws intended to restrict drag performances. Six of those states, including Florida, passed their versions of the laws.
However, many of these new laws have been struck down or blocked by courts. Just last month, the Supreme Court rejected Florida’s request to enforce its drag law after a lower court blocked the measure statewide. A district judge in June found the Florida law to be “specifically designed to suppress the speech of drag queen performers.”
Florida’s settlement with the Hyatt Regency Miami follows similar settlements the state made in recent months with a Miami restaurant and an Orlando nonprofit for hosting drag shows last year."
Poor Ronnie:(

Are movie theaters that allow accompanied minors into movies with a R rating for nudity, sexual situations, etc fined as well?

If the movie is rated NC-17, yes…

I didn’t see anything on that Wikipedia page that stated Florida has fined theaters. Also I wasn’t talking NC-17 because nudity, sexual suggestion, sexual situations, and ‘lewd’ behavior isn’t limited only to NC-17.SlimShady wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 3:45 pmIf the movie is rated NC-17, yes…
