EFF has long warned about this kind of mission creep: where a law or policy supposedly aimed at public safety is turned into a tool for political retaliation or mass surveillance. Going to a drag show should not mean you forfeit your anonymity. It should not open you up to surveillance. And it absolutely should not land your name in a government database.

If you thought going to a Pride event or drag show was just another night out, think again. If you were in Florida, it might land your name in a government database.

      I’ve been to several. I’ve seen Alyssa Edwards and got her autograph. I’m going to a Nina West show later this year. Drag Brunch at this one bar has the best breakfast totchoes in the world! Hell, a friend brought his 5-year-old son, and the queens brought him up to dance on the bar! Everyone, including the kid, was having a fantastic, dare I say fabulous time. Anyone who has a problem with that is gay.
