The city of St. George must issue a permit for a Utah-based group that organizes drag performances to host an all-ages drag show in a public park. A federal judge ruled on Friday to grant the preliminary injunction requested by the group. The judge called the city officials' attempt to stop the show unconstitutional. The lawsuit marks the most recent development in a fight over drag shows in conservative St. George, Utah. A statement from the city says it is committed to ensuring public parks remain open to those who want to hold events.
