Franklin Graham Praises DeSantis For Cracking Down On Hotel That Hosted Drag Queen Event With Kids Present

Rev. Franklin Graham, the leader of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and Samaritan’s Purse, praised Republican Florida Governor. Ron DeSantis is upset that reports claim his administration will revoke the Hyatt Regency’s alcohol licence in Miami after it hosted a conference. “A Drag Queen Christmas” Minors are welcome to the audience.

“Governor Ron DeSantis doesn’t mess around,” Graham wrote about social media. “He’s revoking the liquor license of a major Miami hotel because they hosted a drag queen show with children present, even after being warned.”

“It’s so refreshing to see a leader who is willing to stand up for what is right!” Graham added. “May God bless and help him as he leads this state.”

Graham provided a link to a Business Insider article that claimed that Florida’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco had filed a 17 page complaint against the venue hosting the event, The James L. Knight Center. This center is associated with the hotel. The event took place on December 27.

“Sexually explicit content is not appropriate to display to children and doing so violates Florida law,” Bryan Griffin, DeSantis Press Secretary. “Governor DeSantis stands up for the innocence of children in the classroom and throughout Florida.”

The state filed a complaint stating that Hyatt “promoted the Show using targeted, Christmas-themed promotional materials that did not provide notice as to the sexually explicit nature of the Show’s performances or other content.”

“Rather than call attention to the Show’s sexually explicit content or acknowledge that it might not be appropriate for children, Respondent’s promotional materials unequivocally stated ‘[a]ll ages welcome,'” According to the complaint.

The state of Florida had sent Hyatt a warning letter prior to the event. “[sexually explicit drag show performances constitute public nuisances, lewd activity, and disorderly conduct when minors are in attendance” And that’s only if the hotel “failed to ensure that minors were prohibited from attending such performances, its license would be subject to penalties up to and including revocation.”

According to the complaint, videos were being played behind performers. “images of exposed female breasts with less than a fully opaque covering, portrayals of simulated masturbation, and other sexually explicit content.”

“The Show also contained sexually explicit themes and prurient content presented through perverted versions of popular children’s Christmas songs,” The complaint was added. “These included an adaptation of ‘All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth’ that contained portrayals of oral fellatio, as well as the line ‘I’ll sit on his lap, he can put his milk and cookies all between my gap.'”

A performance by “Screwdolph the Red-Nippled Reindeer,” These lyrics were included in the album:

• “You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen Vomit and Stupid and Dildo and Dicks-in…”
• “But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all? Screwdolph the Red-Nippled Reindeer, had a very shiny bust…”
• “Then one soggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say ‘Screwdolph with your nipples so bright won’t you guide my sleigh tonight.”

“At all times material to this Complaint, Respondent maintained dominion and control over its Licensed Premises, the performances conducted at the Licensed Premises, and the persons admitted onto its Licensed Premises,” The allegations were made by state officials “Accordingly, Respondent authorized, permitted, and maintained the Show to occur on its Licensed Premises, and, as a direct result of its admission policies, knowingly exposed minor children to the conduct alleged herein.”
