Texas Students Petition SCOTUS To Allow Drag Show

Courthouse News reports:

An LGBTQ student group asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday for emergency intervention so it can conduct an annual charity drag show against the wishes of the university’s Christian president. Two lower courts denied Spectrum WT’s request to block West Texas A&M University’s ban on the performance. The group urged the justices to act where the lower courts had not, arguing the court had a responsibility to uphold free speech.

Spectrum WT said the show would be anything but risqué, avoiding profane music and other “lewd” conduct. Minors were allowed to attend only if accompanied by a parent. The university’s president Walter Wendler banned the event, claiming it discriminated against women. Wendler said the university would not host the event because drag shows stereotype women in a derisive, divisive and demoralizing manner.

In September 2023, Wendler’s ban was upheld by the infamous anti-LGBTQ hate group lawyer turned Trump-appointed federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who was previously exposed for failing to disclose viciously anti-LGBTQ interviews and acting to hide his authorship of an anti-abortion article ahead of his Senate confirmation hearing.
