The new law championed by Republican Gov. The restaurant’s owner said the law was overly broad, was written vaguely and violated First Amendment rights by chilling speech. Hamburger Mary’s regularly hosts drag shows, including family-friendly performances on Sundays that children are invited to attend. The district court found that the law likely restricted free speech and couldn't be enforced anywhere in the state. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court’s order stopping the law from being enforced. Three justices, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas, said they would have granted the state's request. Florida had asked the court to allow its anti-drag show law to be enforced everywhere except at the Hamburger Mary's restaurant in Orlando, which challenged the law's constitutionality.
