A Florida law placing restrictions on live performances has been put on hold. The Protection of Children Act, which some say targets the LGBTQ community, was ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge.
The LGBTQ theater troupe Mickee Faust Club is making their annual show open only to those 18 and over. Performers said new laws in Florida are so unclear that they are playing it safe.
The Protection of Children Act, also known as HB 1423 and it's senate counterpart SB 1438, would punish businesses for allowing children to attend what they're calling "adult live performances."

The 87th Texas Legislature concluded Monday, and the Senate s highest-ranking woman and Hispanic member, Senator Judith Zaffirini, DLaredo, was the Senate s highest bill-passer for the fourth consecutive session.
Despite challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant budget deficit, and Winter Storm Uri, Senator Zaffirini passed 106 bills and extended her career-long voting record past 65,000 consecutive votes well beyond that of any other legislator in the country. Her bills address the priorities of Senate District 21, which stretches from the Rio Grande to the Colorado River and from the Port of Corpus Christi to the Valley.
