James L. Knight Center

Ron DeSantis Threatens Miami Hotel’s Liquor License After Drag Show | Eater Miami

"Affiliated with the Hyatt, the James L. Knight Center hosted “A Drag Queen Christmas” in December 2022 that the complaint says “simulated masturbation” and included “graphic depictions of childbirth and/or abortion,” with performers allegedly “forcibly penetrating or running their exposed prosthetic breasts against the faces or oral cavities of audience members”; the show reportedly featured RuPaul’s Drag Race performers wearing “prosthetic female genitalia” during portions of the performance. Marketing materials added a “Recommended for audiences 18+” disclaimer with an additional note that “an adult must accompany minors,” but the complaint alleges minors under the age of 16 were knowingly admitted and provides only a blurry photograph of a person’s face as evidence." - Olee Fowler
