The Florida law that limits drag shows in the state will remain blocked, the Supreme Court said Thursday, dealing a blow to a key initiative championed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Florida had asked the high court to narrow a lower court’s injunction that stopped the law from being enforced statewide. The justices declined to do so.

Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch said they would have allowed the law to take effect.

        Where on earth did you get anything bigot related from that? Any new law doesn’t need to define an already established and known term.

          I thought we were just proclaiming words that are already defined.

          And yes, laws DO need to define words in clear and concise language. Otherwise those laws are struck down… Just like this one.

            Each law doesn’t have to define every word lol. The word child is already defined by law.

            This attempted law being struck down wasn’t struck down because they don’t know what “child” is defined as lol.
