Florida lawmakers aim to ban drag shows as Miami Beach prepares for Pride festival

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:30:46 GMT

Drag show organizers and performers are speaking out against a controversial bill moving through the Florida Legislature that, they said, is unfairly targeting them, as Miami Beach Pride organizers forge ahead with preparations for their event.Drag performers in Florida could be hit with major fines if the bill becomes law.“An overreach of government, and the bill is way too vague,” said drag performer Tiffany Fantasia. Tuesday night, the Republican-led Florida Senate passed a bill that would ban anyone under 18, even accompanied by a parent, from attending adult live performances, which includes drag shows and parades, that elected officials have deemed lewd.“A legitimate concern for parents and our constituents is about children being exposed to nudity, sexual activities and lewd conduct,” said Republican State Sen. Clay Yarborough. The organizers, performers or establishments could be fined $10,000 and even face criminal charges, which includes jail time.&...

Divided Boston City Council battles over redistricting review request

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:30:46 GMT

Boston city councilors clashed for more than 20 minutes over a hearing request that would review internal communications one councilor says may point to open meeting law violations that occurred during a fraught redistricting process.City Councilor Erin Murphy, who already encountered resistance from her colleagues last week when she first requested public records for 5,816 pages of inter-council redistricting correspondence, experienced harsher opposition on Wednesday, when she reintroduced this request to a heavily divided City Council.“I believe we need to focus on reestablishing trust, not just here in the chamber among colleagues, but with our constituents,” Murphy said. “Our processes here on the City Council, of deliberation and debate, do more for the common good when they are open, transparent and inclusive.”Battle lines drawn in recent months were readily apparent during Wednesday’s City Council meeting, where Council President Ed Flynn tried several times to staunch discu...
