Franklin Graham, the leader of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and Samaritan\u2019s Purse, praised Republican Florida Governor. Ron DeSantis is upset that reports claim his administration will revoke the Hyatt Regency&#8217;s alcohol licence in Miami after it hosted a conference. &#8220;A Drag Queen Christmas&#8221; Minors are welcome to the audience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Governor Ron DeSantis doesn&#8217;t mess around,&#8221; Graham wrote about social media. &#8220;He&#8217;s revoking the liquor license of a major Miami hotel because they hosted a drag queen show with children present, even after being warned.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so refreshing to see a leader who is willing to stand up for what is right!&#8221; Graham added. &#8220;May God bless and help him as he leads this state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Graham provided a link to a Business Insider article that claimed that Florida&#8217;s Department of Business and Professional Regulation&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sexually explicit content is not appropriate to display to children and doing so violates Florida law,&#8221; Bryan Griffin, DeSantis Press Secretary. &#8220;Governor DeSantis stands up for the innocence of children in the classroom and throughout Florida.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The state filed a complaint stating that Hyatt &#8220;promoted the Show using targeted, Christmas-themed promotional materials that did not provide notice as to the sexually explicit nature of the Show&#8217;s performances or other content.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rather than call attention to the Show&#8217;s sexually explicit content or acknowledge that it might not be appropriate for children, Respondent&#8217;s promotional materials unequivocally stated \u2018[a]ll ages welcome,'&#8221; According to the complaint.<\/p>\n<p>The state of Florida had sent Hyatt a warning letter prior to the event. &#8220;[sexually explicit drag show performances constitute public nuisances, lewd activity, and disorderly conduct when minors are in attendance&#8221; And that&#8217;s only if the hotel &#8220;failed to ensure that minors were prohibited from attending such performances, its license would be subject to penalties up to and including revocation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/b><\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, there were many segments in which performers engaged in sexual conduct and simulated sexual activity.
