Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Wednesday weighed in on his administration’s efforts to fight back against the sexualization of children and spoke of the “disturbing trend” of society trying to sexualize young children following news of the state filing a complaint against a bar in Miami that offers drag shows to children.
“There was a video out of Dallas where they had all these young kids putting money in the underwear of these drag queens at a bar, and that’s totally unacceptable,” DeSantis said, explaining that videos later emerged showing similar scenarios occurring in the Sunshine State.
“So we said, wait a minute having kids involved in this is wrong, that is not consistent with our law and policy in the state of Florida, and it is a disturbing trend in our society to try to sexualized these young people,” he said. “That is not the way you look out for our children.”
DeSantis spoke about the Department of Business and Professional regulation lunching an investigation into the Miami bar that offers drag shows to children. Investigators found that there were, indeed, minors present at these “sexually explicit drag shows.”
