The Southern Utah Drag Stars hoped to put on an all-ages drag show in St. George, Utah. Southern Utah Drag Stars, headed by CEO Mitski Avalōx, had hoped to put on the show in April 2023. Avalōx initially founded Southern Utah Drag Stars to increase access to drag and LGBTQ+ advocacy for youth. The victory for St. George's LGBTQ community marks the third major federal ruling striking down anti-LGBTQ legislation in the last month. In Florida, a federal judge blocked parts of a law that would prohibit transgender youth from receiving puberty blockers, an essential component of gender-affirming care.
