Gov. DeSantis Takes Away Florida Hotel’s Liquor License After Hosting ‘A Drag Queen Christmas’ Show with Children Present
By Fox News // March 16, 2023
(FOX NEWS) – A major Florida hotel cast off blame after the DeSantis administration announced that it was moving to strip its liquor license over a sexually explicit Christmas-themed drag show with children present.
The Hyatt Regency Miami hosted “A Drag Queen Christmas” in December, which included performers rubbing prosthetic breasts and genitals on the faces and mouths of attendees, exposed rears, simulated masturbation, “graphic depictions of childbirth and/or abortion,” according to a complaint filed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
But the Hyatt’s general manager said the city of Miami owns the venue where the drag show took place and that a third party manages it.
“The event in reference was hosted at the city-owned James L. Knight Center, which is a third-party operated venue adjacent to Hyatt Regency Miami,” Amir Blattner said in a statement to Fox News. “All programming and ticketing is managed by the third-party operator.”
“Hyatt’s only role at the James L. Knight Center is to provide food and beverage concessions,” he continued.
