Following several anti-grooming bills signed by Gov. DeSantis, a Florida group has canceled its planned “Pride” festival.

From Breitbart. The Tampa Pride on the River event has been canceled due to the series of anti-groomer bills passed by the Florida legislature and signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), which in part imposes penalties on establishments that expose children to sexually explicit drag shows and similar adult performances.

DeSantis recently signed a series of anti-groomer legislation designed to protect children from the radical left’s woke gender agenda, which includes pushing transgender ideology and gender confusion on minors. One of the pieces of legislation signed is titled the “Protection of Children,” or HB 1438, which imposes fines on establishments that allow children to attend sexually explicit adult shows, such as drag shows. …

As a result, Tampa Pride President Carrie West recently told outlets that their festival has been canceled, apologizing for the series of events that led to that decision, as there would be drag queens performing at the public event, which children would be easily exposed to as last year’s event occurred along the river walk. As a result, participating businesses could face penalties. …

The legislation itself authorizes the Division of Hotels and Restaurants of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation to “fine, suspend, or revoke the license of any public lodging establishment or public food service establishment if the establishment admits a child to an adult live performance,” per the bill’s text.  The DeSantis administration has identified drag shows as falling into the adult show category. …

I’ll just say, if there was no reprobate behavior going on, there would have been no need to cancel the event. I don’t think i need to say more.

Yes I am encouraged by this news and I applaud Governor DeSantis for passing this bill. He is a blessing to Florida! I pray for him to continue to honor the Lord in his decision making. Thank you Lord!!! I pray and believe that Florida continues to need him and his policy making and governing. Protect him and his family and his leadership, and the people who are helping him to lead. Let the people of Florida rise up to help and support him. In Jesus’ name I pray. And I pray for the ones who were devastated by the last hurricane and still need help to get back on their feet, the ones who lost their homes and cars. Help them to rebuild, restore, replace, and start anew.🙏✝️

I pray that IFA and all who know The Lord our God, shall come to address our Lord God as “Lord our God”, or similar, rather than beginning prayers with “God”, which seems inappropriate to me, since we KNOW that “God” seems to be more of a description of what our Lord is, rather than than His name. With all the Names of God, in Scripture, should we not, at very least, begin our prayers with “Lord our God”, or “Father God”, etc.? To begin a prayer with “God,” – seems to be akin to calling a person by their “description”, rather than by their name, as in “man” instead of, say – David, or “woman” instead of, say – Mary, or “God”, instead of Father God, or Jesus our Lord God, etc. Just a thought.

    Actually God is His title. He has many names. Yahweh is his real name. But I don’t think He minds it if we call Him God. He has never corrected me. Oh what love.

Psalm 143:1
A Psalm of David.
Hear my prayer, O Lord,
Give ear to my supplications!
Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!

Dear Heavenly Father, this perverse “festival” has been cancelled because of man’s law, this is good. But I am praying You WILL cancel the celebration of perversity in America, this is best. I pray what we see in Florida is a preview of what WILL BE in this nation. Please open eyes Lord. Please cover this sin with shame. Please draw all the confused and corrupt to cry out to You in distress. Only You can heal hearts such as these. I pray in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Perfect Savior. Amen
