The Fort Lauderdale show at the Broward Center was the first of four performances around the state.
The 2022 Florida debut of “A Drag Queen Christmas” in Fort Lauderdale has triggered a state investigation, according to a tweet from the account of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Press Secretary.
The show went on in Miami’s James L. Knight Center Tuesday night — with limited tickets still available — and was scheduled to hit the heights in Orlando and Clearwater for successive nights. But it might be coming to the attention of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, according to a statement from the state Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).
DBPR “is aware of multiple complaints about a sexually explicit performance marketed to children held in Fort Lauderdale on December 26. The Department is actively investigating this matter, including video footage and photographs from the event,” said the statement that Bryan Griffin tweeted.
“Exposing children to sexually explicit activity is a crime in Florida, and such action violates the Department’s licensing standards for operating a business and holding a liquor license.”
According to the traveling production’s website, Dragfans.com, the show has been going on for eight years. And, on the site’s “Past Tours” page, the show has made stops in Florida for five different Christmases, according to the posters displayed there.
The production company says that “all ages” are welcome at its shows, as does the website advertising the Orlando show. But the site listing all the tour stops does say potential patrons might be barred depending on local regulations.
Miami’s show, for example, is advertised with the caveat, “Adult content. Recommended for audiences — 18+. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.” In Clearwater, it says that only those older than 18 will be admitted to Ruth Eckerd Hall for the performance.
Critics of the show tweeted videos showing a full house in the Broward Center for the Performing Arts Monday night. And the Dec. 22 event in Knoxville, Tennessee, was sold out, according to Tennessee state Rep. Gloria Johnson’s Twitter account.
The controversy is reminiscent of a July complaint about a drag queen brunch put on at R House Wynwood after a video surfaced showing a toddler dancing with a drag queen. Statements from Gov. Ron DeSantis indicated the venue’s liquor license was at risk for the same issue.
The current status of the investigation was unavailable Tuesday, but the restaurant’s website seems to indicate that the drag brunch is still happening Saturday and Sunday with four seatings.
In July, DeSantis said his criticism of the drag brunch’s entertainment is part of his fight for Florida to be “where kids can be kids.” That includes efforts to pass the Parental Rights in Education law, which more closely regulates schoolhouse discussions.

With these haters / bigots lying and making things up along with projection is the standard way they do stuff. They claim the other side is promoting violence while they get the Proud Boys to attack drag queen events. They claim the other side is full of hate while they call the LGBTQ+ evil. Another thing she claims unnamed studies that find parents find they are unable to stop their kids from being trans or non-binary, implying that laws and the left are blocking the wishes of good god loving parents to take care of their kids. The truth is parents cannot stop their kids from being born with a different gender than assigned at birth or being born non-binary but that is how they are when they are born! These people who push the idea that people can be converted to a gender are the same people who support the totally debunked idea of conversion therapy for sexual orientation. Hugs
LibsOfTikTok founder Chaya Raichik has regularly made false and misleading comments about teachers and children’s hospitals. (YouTube)
Libs Of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik has said LGBTQ+ people are “grooming children” and are “evil” in a disturbing Fox News interview.
Raichik, the figure behind the virulently anti-LGBTQ+ Twitter account known for encouraging pile-ons and spreading misinformation, elaborated on her belief that the LGBTQ+ community is a “cult” in an interview with host Tucker Carlson.
In the hour-long interview, Raichik and Carlson discussed her since-debunked claim that certain children’s hospitals were performing hysterectomies on trans teenagers.
Carlson asked Raichik if she had any “theories” about what was going on with “evil” people who offer affirming care to minors.
Raichik replied: “The LGBTQ community has become this cult and it’s so captivating, and it pulls people in so strongly, unlike anything we’ve ever seen.”
She went on to claim LGBTQ+ people “brainwash” others to “join” their movement and that it’s “really, really hard to get out of it”.
Raichik also referred to unnamed “studies” on parents who find they cannot stop their children from being trans or non-binary.
Libs of TikTok has over 1.5 million followers and received several temporary suspensions and a permanent suspension from TikTok. (@libsoftiktok/Twitter)
She said the situation is “unlike anything we’ve ever seen”, adding that it’s “extremely poisonous”.
Carlson asked Raichik if she sees a “spiritual component to any of this”, adding: “I don’t think this makes sense at all.”
“No, it doesn’t make any sense and I think – I think they’re evil,” Raichik replied.
Chaya Raichik went on Tucker Carlson and said the "LGBTQ community has become this cult… It's extremely poisonous." She later says "They're just evil people, and they're out to groom kids. They're recruiting."
“And sometimes we try to break it down a lot and we discuss why this is happening, what’s happening and whatever, and I think sometimes the simplest answer is, they’re just evil.
“They’re bad people. They’re just evil people, and they want to groom kids. They’re recruiting.”
Libs Of TikTok refers to LGBTQ+ people as ‘groomers’
This is far from the first time Raichik has shared anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric; through her Libs Of TikTok social media accounts, she has pushed false and misleading comments about teachers, medical providers and children’s hospitals.
Since the account first came to prominence, Raichik has described people who teach children about gender and sexuality as “groomers”. She has also used her platform to hit out at all-age drag shows.
Her most controversial moment came when she claimed Boston Children’s Hospital was performing hysterectomies on trans minors. In the weeks after she publicised her since-debunked claims, staff faced death threats and the hospital was targeted with two anonymous bomb threats.
Raichik originally tried to keep her identity a secret, but her real name was eventually revealed by the Washington Post.
A lot of the reason this happens in the US is because we teach our kids to fear anyone seeing their bodies. Kids in other advanced developed countries are as willing to show themselves to a stranger online hoping it will be a girl / boy they like willing to also show themselves. In other countries when the person really behind the scam comes out the kids are upset but they don’t freak out and give the person money or even worse more explicit videos. They do not kill themselves. Because they know they can go to the parents and tell them, they know that if their friends do get the videos / pictures because they shared their contacts unknowingly that no one will disown them or freak out. Yes they will get teased but it is not the end of the world. Hell in the US adults are still trying to ban porn like it is the 1950s. In the US until the middle to late 1960s it was common for schools that had pools to have the boys swim nude and the girls wear suits often in the pool /pool area at the same time. I have seen the pictures and read the stories. No one cared as it was the custom / tradition before the US got hyper modest and back to being prudish. Here in the US I have read of a rash of kids killing themselves after giving the perpetrator everything they had, hundreds of dollars and including more pictures / videos but they are too scared to tell the parents or let the pictures videos out to their contacts especially if they were gay based. Kids too afraid of their parents seeing their genitalia that they would give a stranger all the money they had and then kill themselves. Teens too afraid of their own friends seeing their junk that they are willing to do anything including kill themselves. In the US we have taken prudishness and weird anti-sex / anti-genitals to the point it is killing our kids. Yet the republicans only focus on stopping any self-enjoyment to force young adults to marry and have more babies just to experience sex. As long as it is the correct kind of sex of course. Hugs
Republican lawmakers across the country have proposed an unprecedented number of anti-trans bills. Their all-out assault on trans people is an effort to erase them from society, and they’re. not slowing down anytime soon.
“Three minor teens working at a Chick-fil-A restaurant were allowed to operate a dangerous machine in North Carolina, federal officials said.
Now the location’s franchisee must pay up after violating child labor laws, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
The three employees at Chick-fil-A’s Hendersonville location operated, loaded and unloaded a trash compactor, which is a hazardous machine under child labor regulations, the agency said in a Dec. 19 news release.
The trio had to be at least 18 years old to use the machine. The department fined the franchisee, Good Name 22:1 LLC, $6,450 to address the child labor violations, officials said.”
If anyone wonders , yes the blogging computer is down. I had to swap secondary drives, and the last time I updated the computers I ruined my good newest windows 10 USB drive, so I had to use a very old one that caused its own problems and after several hours of installing I had to reset windows itself downloading it off the internet from Microsoft so I can complete the install. So here are some videos on Christmas day for everyone while I fix my blogging computer. Happy whatever holiday you celebrate today for everyone, my hope for you is you have the greatest fun, the tastiest food, and are with people you enjoy if that is your thing. Hugs
This is the video that Randy sent me. It really is important to how deep indoctrination goes and this is what the supporters of DeathSantis want to push in the Florida public schools. This is what the parents’ rights bill is about, letting these people set the curriculum that kids are taught. No acceptance or tolerance for gays, trans, anything different from White Straight Christian Male led society will be tolerated in anyway. ++ Edit. Any people that are looking for boy lover symbols who have a couple boys are scary as fuck to me. I had an abused childhood and I did not see that. These people are looking for it. I looked (Dogs that love gravy) There is that symbol but because it is so old or well known to law enforcement it is not common anymore, or at least as little as I was willing to go into to it. If you have the stomach for it, it leads you to outdated sites that can show you new symbols, and takes you farther into the rabbit hole. It is like porn key word searches, each new refresh or whatever takes you further down the whirlpool. I am not able or strong enough to do it. If you are like me, trust me, it is like the world pool that can take my mind, it goes deeper and can get stronger as you go farther into it. Remember there are things you cannot forget and things you can never lose the feelings of. I love you all. Hugs
“Biden’s a child molester and he kidnaps children and does horrible things to them just like Hillary Clinton and Obama, who made the virus. The virus is man-made. It doesn’t exist. Kids need to be put back in school.
“The people who are pulling the strings is the Italian Vatican. They actually are reptilian bloodlines from another planet. They’re basically robots.
“Evil people down there such as the Rothschilds, they suck the blood from children to get adrenochrome and stay young and beautiful forever.
“They pick you up and take you in a submarine to Epstein Island, which is where they molest children.”- QAnon grooming victim Jayden, in a scene from The Place Rules, the upcoming HBO documentary.
Twenty years ago, this would have been considered child abuse. Someone in a state-run agency would have looked at this, realized the danger this would have had on the child, opened up an investigation, and deemed the parents unfit.
To think that now this is commonplace and acceptable in society.
25 years ago my poor cousins, just the girls, were forced to wear culottes for Jesus. They were terrified of the the wrath of God, taught Santa was Satan. No state-run agency was there to help – religious freedom protected their parental right to brainwash their children. There’s nothing different here except that you/we/ some of us disagree.
“They actually are reptilian bloodlines from another planet. They’re basically robots.”
Wait, are they reptiles, reptile hybrids, robots, or cyborgs using reptile or reptile hybrid meat parts? I’m so confused.. sadly, this kid is probably very sure of what he’s saying, since he’s being told that it’s the absolute truth by people he trusts. Probably being told he’s saving people by ‘telling the truth’. No wonder these are the folks scared of education.
If he ever gets out of the bubble he’s in, he will find out how much he has been lied to, and how much nonsense he has spouted, and hate the people who did this to him. Or he will run back into the bubble, where he’s praised for thinking and saying it.
Well, slightly different in that it’s literal Nazi propaganda. The Rothschilds suck the blood of babies? Textbook antisemitism warmed over – same with calling gay people groomers and pedos
This type of child abuse has been going on a long time. Marjoe started scream-preaching in the 1940s at the age of 4. In the ’80s, there was this kid: Does This Child Preacher Understand the Words He’s Yelling?
For those who wonder why I get so upset over the right wing media / fox Tucker Carlson / libs of TT claiming that drag queens are groomers, teachers are sexualizing kids in their classrooms, and using violence to shut down drag shows. Even the crap about trans women using the bathroom is going to let “men” rape your little daughters”. Yet none of these people are talking about the people really sexually assaulting kids. I tend to go to the news stories and dogs that love gravy I have to stop doing that as some of the things these religious people are accused of doing by legal authorities, not twitter or Facebook but real law enforcement people, trigger me so bad it causes daytime problems and nightmares. And it is everyday. But no republican in office is addressing it. DeathSantis the Christian savior who forced through the don’t say gay bills outlawing LGBTQI+ in schools and the anti-history bills claiming talking about the reality of slavery is woke and CRT while making white kids sad, never says a word about these religious leaders. Never out laws them? But does give their leaders permission to go into the schools and start clubs. Setting up future kids to be abused. Hugs
