Metro Weekly reports:

A Florida Republican defending a bill to ban drag performances in public has said he’s fine “erasing” the LGBTQ community in order to protect children.

State Rep. Randy Fine (R-Palm Bay) defended the HB 1423, which he sponsored, and is one of several similar bills seeking to restrict “adult live performances” — including drag, which critics claim is an inherently sexualized art form — in places where they might be viewed, even unintentionally, by minors.

“They’re the ones that are saying this definition applies to them. Well, if it means erasing a community because you have to target children, when damn right, we ought to do it,” Fine said in remarks that were videotaped and have been shared widely on social media.

As noted below in a separate Metro Weekly piece, Fine’s wife is planning to hold a “sultry” burlesque show that could violate the very law proposed by her husband.

Fine appeared on JMG in May 2022 when he tweeted what many interpreted as a threat to assassinate President Biden.

Before that, Fine appeared on JMG when he called for felony charges after Florida Democrats staged a sit-in over the racist US House map submitted by DeSantis. 

And before that, he appeared here when he threatened to defund a Florida Special Olympics event and called a local school board member a “whore” because she’d been invited its fundraiser gala and he was not.

Fine is a sponsor of the bill that attempts the strip Disney’s self-governing status. His family owns annual passes to the “woke” theme park giant.

He recently arranged for a Florida town to honor a war criminal who was convicted of executing four Iraqi prisoners.
