Congressman Fine Applauds Federal Appeals Court Decision Upholding His Florida Law Protecting Children from Perverted Drag Shows

Congressman Randy Fine today applauded a federal appeals court decision upholding Florida's Protection of Children Act (HB 1423), landmark legislation he sponsored in the Florida Legislature to prevent children from being exposed to sexually explicit drag performances. The ruling is a major victory for parents, families, and common sense. HB 1423 was one of Congressman Fine's signature legislative achievements before entering Congress and reaffirmed Florida's commitment to putting children first. "I was proud to lead the fight in Florida to stop children from being exposed to perverted drag shows masquerading as family entertainment," said Congressman Randy Fine. "This week's decision is a huge victory for parents and every Floridian who believes children deserve to be protected, not groomed. The court confirmed what we've known all along: states have every right to protect kids from these freakshows. I will never stop fighting to defend our children and our values and look forward to bringing this legislation nationwide. As a member of Congress, Fine has continued championing legislation that protects children, defends parental rights, and pushes back against the radical Left's efforts to normalize demented gender ideology for minors.
