DeSantis administration revokes Hyatt Regency alcohol license for hosting 'A Drag Queen Christmas'

DeSantis has quite a few Christmas shows he's having investigated and it gets confusing.
Bottom line is he can't just revoke anyone's alcohol license.
It can take up to 1 to 1,5 years.
It's a long process with appeals along the way and only until the venue is found to have broken whatever laws that warrant a revoke they can continue serving it,

 

But, he just did. The hotel will have to fight to get it back. And, if by chance there was activity that was illegal to be in front of children, then the hotel will have a very hard time getting their license back.

 

Like I said this is becoming a waste of time, because you either don't get the points other people make, or you just don't want to hear them.

It turned out the event was not even at the hotel, and yes if there was a crime, then proper authorities would be involved, but as of now the Governor is acting as the judge and the executioner. There is no investigation, and the hotel continues to sell booze like they always have. Do you ever wonder that maybe you are being played.

I don't know. Its a red State after all, but no one has mentioned anyone being out of control drunk. Of course weaponizing the the liquor licensing was the only way the Governor could attack them since the legal system was not going take action.

No, as of now they are still selling booze.

 

None of your points make any sense as they sound exactly like reading from extremist far left website. In no realm on planet earth do many even think that Children should be exposed to what may have happened. You are talking about most likely at the very least 7.75 billion people don't believe that those perverted to the point they have a strong desire to sexually dance in front of young children should be entitled to do so. How hard is that to believe?

 

You don't know what you are talking about. It is literally the regulation wrt the Hyatt's liquor license cited by the state regulatory body. May I suggest you actually read the 17 page administrative judgement? Then at least you might have the slightest idea about what you are talking about.

 

Yea, yours too. Reading your comments is like reading the Communist Manifesto Have a nice day.

Thanks for proving one final time you have no clue what other posters have been saying, because no one has said that Children SHOULD be exposed to it. Literally no one has said that. Its just that your only solution is the nanny State approach where the government coms to help you raise your kids.

 

Yea, sure, same to you. Thanks for stopping by.

 

So, they sent undercovers agents to spy on the same show in Orlando, and.......they said there was nothing lewd going on. If you think about it, they have performed the show in 36 US cities and no one had an issue, then maybe the Florida Government is just using it harrass businesses in order to play politics and big government populist base dances to the music.

People are being played like never before, and they make it easy because they are willing loyalists.

Undercover agents saw nothing ‘lewd’ at Orlando drag show. Florida is going after venue anyway

When the historic Plaza Live theater in Orlando hosted an event last December called “A Drag Queen Christmas,” the show drew a full house, noisy street demonstrators — and a small squad of undercover state agents there to document whether children were being exposed to sights that ran afoul of Florida’s decency law.

The Dec. 28 performance featured campy skits like “Screwdolph the Red-Nippled Man Deer” and shimmying, bare-chested men who wouldn’t have been out of place at a Madonna concert. Also a hip thrust or two, similar to what is sometimes indulged in by NFL players after a touchdown. All of it was dutifully recorded by the undercover agents on state-issued iPhones.

But while the agents took photos of three minors at the Orlando drag show — who appeared to be accompanied by adults — they acknowledged that nothing indecent had happened on stage, according to an incident report obtained exclusively by the Miami Herald.

“Besides some of the outfits being provocative (bikinis and short shorts), agents did not witness any lewd acts such as exposure of genital organs,” the brief report stated. “The performers did not have any physical contact while performing to the rhythm of the music with any patrons.”

Such strong opinions regarding matters you know nothing about.

 

Good! last thing we need is a bunch of drunk Pedos around Children
This man is a hero! He probably has saved thousands of little boys from sodomy.
To all your "but the priests" rebuttal, I would love to see him go after that as well.
2 wrongs don't make a right
Leave them kids alone lefties!
Someday they will turn 18 and you can have at em! For now just leave them alone. The indoctrination crap you guys are doing is truly DISGUSTING

 

they are trying to say it's sexual, but one could say the same about the beach and people in skimpy outfits and at one time Republicans did say that, heck they complained about the way Elvis danced too

 

It’s going to be the same thing when he targeted the people who voted “illegally” and made a show of their arrests.

All of them were released and not charged

Or when he went after Disney and instead of revoking the special district just replaced their board.

Or the “stop woke act” that is blatantly unconstitutional and has been struck down

He is smart enough to know that his base doesn’t care about the eventual outcome or if it is constitutional and only salivate over the “attacking the libs”.

He understands that if he doesn’t throw enough red meat hate they will just move on to worship the next fascist wannabe.

 

It is amazing how obtuse and self delusional so many people can be especially leftists. DeSantis rightfully removed special privileges from a politically connected company which had given them an unfair tax advantage and required it to be treated exactly the same as every other company. Yet our delusional lefties claim that is some how unfair.

Of course the same delusional person then whines and uses the same empty snarl phrase of "fascist" which he clearly doesn't even know the definition of. It is really pathetic how far they have sank.

 

Here is an article that says they still have their license pending the review of the complaint https://apnews.com/article/desantis-lgbtq-drag-shows-florida-c353b4161c2bcb2770168187154797ee

 

This sounds prejudicial............as all PEOPLE should be treated equally. as is age appropriate etc.

If this is his biggest problem........then e must have alot of time on his hands.... or should re assess his priorities.

 

At one time they did ban bikinis at Florida beaches and this time they are trying to re-define words and punish businesses using any means available outside the legal system. They sent agents to the same show in Orlando, and they came back saying the show was not 'lewd', but the Government went after the business liqueur license anyway.

LOL. You support authoritarian nonsense while screaming "you leftists" and you dont even realize what it sounds like. It sounds absurd. Florida has 2000 special districts like Reedy Creek and in a free country people are free to voice their opinion without fear of being targeted by the government. You say the government can "rightfully" suppress speech like DeSantis routinely dies, so I dont know if you are right or left, but its an extremist authoritarian mindset either way which belongs in 3rd world dictatorships. You are following your leaders to a dark path.

Yes, they still have it, and the event did not even take place at their hotel. The government is targeting them because they dont like them,

 

I'm one of those people who judge such things on a case by case basis. I think it is poor public policy to have the drag shows done in the presence of children. Hyatt knew the rules regarding alcohol sales in the presence of children.

I suppose one could construct a hypothetical case in which the drag show were held but NO ALCOHOL WAS SERVED. In that case, the state would not have been able to take action against Hyatt I suppose.

I took my son to a strip club when he turned 18, so maybe I'm liberal in that regard.

I find the drag shows in front of children to be disgusting and wrong because children are impressionable. Drag shows for adults only are fine by me.

 

Sooooo

What programs is he initiating to reduce online grooming since that is the most prevalent of all of the grooming problems?

 

I'm curious as to how YOU know that online grooming is the most prevalent form?

 

I don't know, but you would think it's much less risky to groom on-line than in-person, since exposing yourself in-person also exposes you for getting caught and prosecuted.

 

Thanks for the insight. I wonder if BB will chime in...

 

I don’t know about Florida, but Costco in CA has 35 licenses. Licenses are power. Florida Hyatt probably has a bunch, too.
Cancelling a liquor license is a “vice offense”. IOW, sex, liquor, and children don’t mix.
In the effort to protect decency, DeSantis sent a message. It’s not like he went for the jugular and revoked their occupancy permit.
BTW, has anyone heard the end of the story?

 

Well, it turned out nearly 90% of it happens on-line.

 

He sent a message that he is weaponizing licensing. If there was a gun registry, he would have used it already. As for occupancy permit, the event in question did not happen at the premises, so that would be difficult to do, but pulling liquor licenses can easily put restaurants, clubs and hotels out of business.

 

On this matter, do you have more credibility than others? I never knew it even existed until fairly recently.
