Haters File Appeal To Stop Florida Pride Drag Show

Via press release from hate group leader Mat Staver:

Liberty Counsel filed a motion to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals seeking to step in and defend the interests of concerned parents and stay a preliminary injunction forcing the city of Naples, Florida to allow an obscene LGBTQ drag show performance outdoors in view of children at an upcoming “pride” festival on June 7.

Last month, U.S. District Judge John Steele denied Liberty Counsel’s motion to intervene because it had not been filed soon enough before the injunction decision.

The injunction strikes down the city’s indoor venue requirements and age restrictions allowing the show’s lewd and sexualized content to be performed just 100 feet from the children’s playground.

Judge Steele sided with Naples Pride, the LGBTQ advocacy group sponsoring the show, finding the drag show performance is “speech protected by the First Amendment.”

Liberty Counsel is asking the appeals court to retroactively grant its intervention request and decide this motion on an emergency basis before the scheduled performance.

Read the full idiocy. They’ve already lost twice.
