Social media reaction
Andrew R, @kidcue, said the onus is on the parents to know where they are bringing their children.
No one showed up at this families house and put on a drag show. Parents took their kids to a place that has them every Sunday. That's a parental issue.

User @starrfire71 called for DeSantis to be removed from office.
#DeStapo is actively targeting private businesses to enforce his idea of morality. This is crazy. He needs to be voted out ASAP. #RemoveRon

About R House
R House, 2727 NW Second Ave. in Wynwood, is different than most venues that host drag shows. Unlike LGBTQ bars, R House is primarily a restaurant that serves Latin-inspired food. Its popularity among Miami locals and tourists has skyrocketed because of its weekend drag brunches.
The brunches, which showcase performances by several drag artists and a DJ, have become so popular that reservations are booked weeks in advance.
Like most restaurants, there is no age-requirement to sit at a table, although customers are asked to show their IDs when they order alcoholic drinks.
