Settlement talks are under way in a lawsuit leveled against the City of St. George over a rejected permit for a drag show, FOX 13 News has learned.
SALT LAKE CITY — Settlement talks are under way in a lawsuit leveled against the City of St. George over a rejected permit for a drag show.
"We have been engaging in settlement discussions. The prospects for settlement are good and that’s true. We’re not that far apart. We’re hopeful we can get this settled," said Remi Jaffre, an attorney for Southern Utah Drag Stars. Southern Utah Drag Stars sued after the City of St. George rejected its permit application to hold a drag show in a public park. Drag show organizers accused city leaders of discrimination, citing remarks they have made targeting drag shows. A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction sought by the American Civil Liberties Union and ordered the city to allow the show, citing First Amendment free speech rights. The show was performed on June 30, but the case continues to be litigated.
