• The Florida House on Wednesday gave final approval to a controversial bill aimed at preventing children from attending drag shows and two other trans-related measures that also drew fierce debate.
• While the bill that got final approval does not specifically mention drag shows, it moved through the Legislature after Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration took steps such as filing a complaint against the Hyatt Regency Miami hotel for hosting a “Drag Queen Christmas” event in December. The bill (SB 1438) passed the Senate last week and is ready to go to DeSantis.
• The other measures would bar doctors from providing treatments such as hormone therapy and puberty blockers to transgender minors and prevent transgender men and women from using bathrooms that don’t line up with their sex assigned at birth.
