A judge has granted an injunction against a ban on drag shows at Texas A&M University and ordered the university to allow a performance of “Draggieland” at the school.
The board of regents at the university banned drag shows across the 11 campuses of the system, but Senior U.S. District Judge Lee H. Rosenthal sided with the Texas A&M Queer Empowerment Council, which challenged the order.
‘State officials should stop trying to score political points at the expense of students’ First Amendment rights.’
“It is a ticketed event; only those who want to attend do so,” argued Rosenthal. “Anyone who finds the performance or performers offensive has a simple remedy: Don’t go.”
