Resolution 2023-32549RESOLUTION NO. 2023-32549
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, OPPOSING ANY
LEGISLATIVE ACTION THAT TARGETS OR
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTS LGBTQ-OWNED
BUSINESSES, OR BUSINESSES THAT CATER PRIMARILY TO
THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY, IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT
ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS TAKEN BY GOVERNOR RON
DESANTIS AND THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS
AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION AGAINST SUCH
ESTABLISHMENTS.
WHEREAS, on February 3, 2023, Governor Ron DeSantis, through the state's
Department of Business and Professional Regulation, filed a 6-count complaint against the
Orlando Philharmonic Foundation Inc., for hosting a drag show in the presence of minors; and
WHEREAS, regrettably, this is not the first time Governor DeSantis has taken aim at
drag performances, and certainly not the first time he has taken aim at the LGBTQ community;
and
WHEREAS, in July 2022, Governor DeSantis' Administration filed a similar complaint
against Miami restaurant R House, citing a 1947 state Supreme Court case that found "men
impersonating women" in the context of "suggestive and indecent" performances constitutes a
public nuisance; and
WHEREAS, in addition, he signed into the law the infamous "Don't Say. Gay" law, putting
restrictions on how gender and sexual identity are discussed in Florida classrooms, as well as
signing legislation that banned transgender athletes from playing on women's sports teams; and
WHEREAS, the governor's efforts are part of a nationwide backlash against LGBTQ
rights more broadly; and
WHEREAS, a new report by the LGBTQ media advocacy group GLAAD found that in
2022 alone, there were at least 124 instances of drag events being protested, threatened or
attacked in 47 states, and nationwide, state lawmakers have introduced at least 200 bills
targeting LGBTQ people; and
WHEREAS, at least 13 states have considered bills that would redefine any venue that
hosts drag performances as an adult -oriented business or cabaret; some of the bills, including
two in West Virginia, would also make it a crime for a person who is dressed as a sex different
than the one they were assigned at birth to perform at all in front of minors; and
WHEREAS, anti -drag show and anti=LGBTQ inflammatory political messaging riddled
with disinformation and championed by elected officials nationwide directly contribute to
violence against LGBTQ people; and
WHEREAS, drag shows are no longer the underground phenomenon they once were,
and in many places, are family-themed events often held in many cities for younger audiences;
and
WHEREAS, these attacks on drag shows and performers strike at the heart of individual
rights to gather, and perform together, as drag shows are an exercise of artistic and creative
expression that should be free from government suppression; and
WHEREAS, in addition, many of the venues hosting drag shows are also venues used
for gathering of the LGBTQ community, and represent safe spaces; and
WHEREAS, the political theatre and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric aimed at drag shows,
disguised as concerns for public decency and welfare of minors, is damaging and must not be
tolerated; and
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach is a diverse and inclusive community and has
demonstrated a long history of opposing discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender
identity, among other categories; and
WHEREAS, the City is also a proud host to iconic LGBTQ establishments such as the
gay nightclub Twist, and Palace Bar, famous for its outdoor weekend drag brunch shows open
to patrons and curious passersby; and
WHEREAS, following the closure of many local LGBTQ nightlife establishments
including Score, MOVA, Salvation, and Warsaw, the Miami Beach community has .long desired
to increase the amount of establishments that serve as a safe space to the LGBTQ community
and has led to the recent grand opening of HEAVEN South Beach; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission vehemently oppose any legislative action
that targets or disproportionately impacts LGBTQ-owned businesses, or businesses that cater
primarily to the LGBTQ community, in light of the recent enforcement actions taken by Governor
Ron DeSantis and the Florida Department Of Business and Professional Regulation against
such establishments.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby oppose any legislative action that targets or disproportionately impacts
LGBTQ-owned businesses, or businesses that cater primarily to the LGBTQ community, in light
of the recent enforcement actions taken by Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Department
of Business and Professional Regulation against such establishments.
