Florida’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) sent a warning to the Orlando Philharmonic Plaza Foundation Inc. ahead of Wednesday’s scheduled show of “A Drag Queen Christmas” at Plaza Live, instructing them to ensure that minors are “prohibited” from the event.
“It has come to the Department’s attention that you have contracted with Big Time Operator, LLC d/b/a ‘Drag Fans’ to offer the use of your licensed premises to conduct the ‘drag show’ performance,” the department wrote in the letter, citing reason to believe that the show features “exposure or exhibition of sexual organs, simulated sexual activity, and/or the sexualization of children’s stories.”
The department also noted that the shows have been “marketed to and attended by minors, including young children.”
