Florida Bill Would Make Taking Kids To Drag Shows A Felony And “Terminate The Parental Rights Of Adults”

West Palm Beach’s ABC News affiliate reports:

A Florida lawmaker plans to propose legislation that would punish parents who take their children to drag shows. State Rep. Anthony Sabatini, R-Howey-in-the-Hills, made the announcement in response to last weekend’s Pride-themed event in West Palm Beach.

Sabatini, who is running for Congress, said he intends to draft legislation that would charge adults with a felony and “terminate the parental rights of any adult who brings a child to these perverted sex shows.” He added, “When will the sexualization of children stop?”

Earlier this week a Canadian teenager was arrested for threatening to carry out a terror attack on the above-cited Pride event.

Yesterday, Gov. Ron DeSantis declared that he supports criminalizing taking kids to drag shows, but he’s not made any comment about the terrorism threat.

As I’ve mentioned here before, Sabatini is arguably the most extreme of Florida state reps, which is saying something.

Sabatini, 33, has suggested bringing AR-15s to confront Black Lives Matter protesters, a la Kyle Rittenhouse.

He’s also filed over a dozen lawsuits against various COVID prevention protocols and filed a bill that would rename US 27 the “President Donald J. Trump Highway.”

When an Orlando Sentinel reporter was assaulted while covering a 2019 Trump rally, Sabatini retweeted a news item about the incident with the word “MAGA.”

Sabatini is running for Congress in Florida’s redrawn 7th District, which is currently represented by retiring Democratic Rep. Stephanie Murphy.

Eleven Republicans, including Sabatini, are vying for the seat. Three relatively unknown Democrats are running in the August 28th primary.
