“You have your tax dollars being given in grants to things like the Fringe Festival, which is like a sexual festival where they’re doing all this stuff,” DeSantis said during a Thursday press conference, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Hmm, I wonder what kinds of “sexual stuff” he’s referring to.
the Tampa Bay Times reports that the governor’s spokespeople did not respond to questions about specific events he found objectionable.
Oh.
Florida Rep. Anna Eskamani (D), who attended this year’s Orlando Fringe festival, told the Times that she saw nothing “sexual” at the festival.
“It does feature drag queens and other forms of artistic expression that DeSantis has wanted to censor despite courts telling him otherwise!” Eskamani said.
So a man dressing in women’s clothes is an inherently sexual act, according to these sexually repressed freaks.
Meatball Ron uses high heels btw.

Why weren’t these heroes around to defund all theater in Shakespeare’s day? Think what they could have accomplished!
I await the DeSantis campaign to outlaw the films Some Like it Hot and Mrs. Doubtfire in Florida.
The arts are vital for a healthy society - their constant marginalization is deeply damaging.
That’s the point
These fuckers want fascism, not a healthy society.
Even the fascists loved art in the 1930s and 1940s. They just used it for their own ends. Goebbels knew how vital art was all too well.
These fascists are too stupid to understand that they could actually use public arts funding that way thankfully. This might be a better result in some ways.
And yet child beauty pageants will still be up and running.
Oh that’s different! Those are much more pure and done by good Christians.
And Ron will be the judge.
There’s nothing more holy than parading your children in bikinis, makeup, and pushup bras for a bunch of old white men.
It is the way of the lord.
dude federal authorities should totally investigate this fucker’s laptop. i bet there’s all sorts of illegal fucked up shit in there. sex is all he thinks about all day every day. there’s no way he has normal porn habits.
I’m pretty happy that the 4th amendment is still somewhat working in protecting us from unreasonable search.
Now if the feds have reasonable suspicion and can get a judge to sign off on a warrant, go nuts!
spending all day talking about kids and sex and sexualizing kids is way more than enough suspicion in my book.
dude federal authorities should totally investigate this fucker’s laptop.
Its frustrating, because a Bush USA would have been so far up Ron’s ass he wouldn’t need those lifts in his shoes. But Obama and Biden just kinda shrug at this and let it slide.
Honestly, you might be able just FOIA him and find some shit.
I will yet again say that your browser histories should be public information if you’re going to run for office, or at the very least once you get elected. With heavy penalties if it turns out you’re hiding anything.
I’m an elected state official in Florida at the extremely local level. Fuck off with that. People don’t need to know my browsing history. It’s entirely possible to judge someone’s fitness by the acts they take in office alone.

Why would I want to know their fitness after they were elected? Sorry, if you’re secretly a Nazi, I want to know before I vote for you.
What could possibly be in your browser history that you don’t want people to see?
My browsing history is my business, not yours or anyone else’s. You may as well start asking for my correspondence history, a record of the content of my private conversations, etc…
I understand the danger that bad actors posing as normal candidates pose. Trust me, I’ve dealt with it first hand. But throwing out huge swathes of otherwise qualified candidates because they aren’t willing to share every piece of their personal life is not the remedy.
When you’re going to be given governmental powers beyond a normal citizen’s, it’s everyone’s business what sort of person you really are.
A browser history is not every piece of a personal life.
I am sorry, but it sounds like you have a good reason to be opposed to this.
Dude, I normally agree with you, but not on this. You’re trying to set up a purity test for office. You might not use it that way, but the Repuglicans will.
Also do you really want to see your daughter’s entire browser history because you raised her well, and she decides to become a civil servant? Or worse, have it plastered all over the news? Think hard on that one.
If she did something nefarious that the public should know about? Absolutely I do. I’m not why you think I would consider family a special case and I’m sorry you think that I’m that sort of hypocrite because I sure have never indicated I am.
(Also, I don’t know why people insist on telling me they normally agree with me when they disagree with me, but it happens all the time.)
Congratulations, you’ve killed all political participation.
Apart from all the people who have nothing nefarious in their browser history.
Sorry, you’re not going to convince me it’s a good thing to find out I voted for a Nazi after the fact.
What a complete moron. Got to save some money for some kick backs.
He’s got his ass covered. This term he made sure Floridians have minimal insight into his spending as governor.
As he goes home and watches naked women and simulated sex on tv.
Things are only overly sexual when you learn that gay people exist, or a man performs art as a woman.
I’m guessing whatever porn he watches is a lot sicker than simulated sex.
Nah, he doth protest too much. I don’t expect women are appearing in his “fantasies”. Definitely finding Christmas presents if you catch my drift.
That’s too vanilla. I’m pretty sure Ronnie boy is into some kinky shit.
Two? People?!? Honey, you lost me!
Sexual theater festivals? Gross. Where can I find them?
Sadly, you’ll have to go into the imagination of the Replublicans
Hell you could replace the word fascism with the word republican and every single fucking point would be the same.
He pocketing this shit and funding his little personal army with it too. He screams woke and takes the money.
“A small man in search of a balcony.”
I can see why. I hear in those Shakespeare festivals, they actually allow kissing during Romeo and Juliet!
