The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation announced on Tuesday that they are investigating the “Drag Queen Christmas” all-ages drag show which took place on Monday.
A statement from The Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) states that it is "aware of multiple complaints about a sexually explicit performance marketed to children held in Fort Lauderdale on December 26th."
The drag queen show took place at the Broward Center for Performing Arts Center and exposed minors to sexualized acts.
"The Department is actively investigating this matter, including video footage and photographs from the event. DPBR will, like in other cases, take action. Exposing children to sexually explicit activity is a crime in Florida, and such action violates the Department's licensing standards for operating a business and holding a liquor license. The Department will share any collected evidence with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for potential criminal liability.
"The Department frequently conducts investigations into these matters upon tips provided by the public, and we thank the public for continuing to bring attention to these incidents. Investigations of such allegations will remain a priority for the Department and, indeed, are ongoing," the statement says.
