“Florida Judge Blocks Florida’s Drag Queen Performance Prohibitions”

The judge has ordered a trial to see if the state’s new restrictions are constitutional under the 1st Amendment protecting “Free Speech.” His order provides that until the outcome of that trial, he is halting enforcement of the bans.
