'They got DeSanitized': Mixed reactions after governor files complaint against Miami bar

Festive Miami drag restaurant R House is caught in the crossfire. The popular Wynwood destination, where guests slug mimosas while watching elaborately dressed entertainers in sky-high heels gallivant about the space, is the target of a state complaint filed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration. The state alleges that the drag shows expose minors to sexually explicit conduct and could embolden pedophiles.

The complaint tries to compare the drag shows to strip club performances, arguing the establishment should have its license removed and be declared a nuisance.

Earlier this month, TikTok user @nononoie shared a video of a still unidentified drag queen in a bikini, with bills tucked in the thong, leading a small girl in a tiara past diners. The text over screen read: “Children belong at drag shows! Children deserve to see fun & expression & freedom.”

The clip quickly went viral after conservative pundit Lauren Chen retweeted it, complaining, “These people belong in jail. This is a hill I’m willing to die on.”
