Florida State Representative Randy Fine has made it his mission to attack the LGBTQ+ community under the veil of “protecting children.” Today in the presentation of his bill HB 1423, he stated that allowing children to attend “Drag Queen Story time” is child abuse. His comment was in response to another representative challenging him on the parental rights of parents to decide where they can take their children. He stated no parent has the right to abuse their children.

Although his bill does not specifically mention drag queens, he has stated as recently as today, that is the intent of the bill. As he mentioned in closing on his bill today, he said the reason he brought this bill forward was because of the City of Melbourne permitting the Space Coast Pride Festival which included (as it has each year) drag queen story time. Fine demanded that the City of Melbourne revoke the permit which they did not. Mayor Paul Alfrey defended the event stating it was their constitutional right to have it.

It appears that Fine’s wife, Wendy is a bit more flexible on what is and isn’t appropriate when it comes to children.

In April of 2021, Wendy Fine participated in a fundraiser for children with autism in Brevard County. From photos and videos of the event, Fine, scantly dressed in burlesque/lingerie, performed sexually charged and provocative dance routines on stage alongside members of the LGBTQ+ community for the audience in exchange for money….for children.
