The Supreme Court left in place a lower court's freeze of a Florida law on Thursday intended to shield minors from witnessing drag shows in public.

Republican Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed an application with the Supreme Court in late October asking that the prohibition against enforcing the anti-drag-show law only be limited to the Orlando, Florida, restaurant that challenged its constitutionality.

The application was filed to Justice Clarence Thomas and referred by him to the full court, which held that Florida failed to show “'a reasonable probability' that this Court would eventually grant certiorari on the question presented."

"In sum, because this Court is not likely to grant certiorari on the only issue presented in Florida’s stay application, it is appropriate for the Court to deny the application," Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in a statement explaining the denial.

Justices Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch said they would have granted an application for a stay.

The law has been on hold ever since a federal judge temporarily blocked its enforcement statewide in response to a lawsuit filed by an Orlando business known as Hamburger Mary's, which regularly hosts drag shows and claims they offer family-friendly performances on Sundays that are suitable for children.

Attorneys for Hamburger Mary's conversely asked the court to deny the request by Gov. Ron DeSantis's administration that would allow the law to be enforced in the state, except for Hamburger Mary's, while a legal battle plays out in lower courts.
