Judge allows drag show at Texas A&M despite the university’s ban
The ruling from Houston-based U.S. District Judge Lee Rosenthal blocked a university ban on drag performances on free speech grounds.
“To ban the performance from taking place on campus because it offends some members of the campus community is precisely what the First Amendment prohibits,” Rosenthal, who was nominated to the bench by the late President George H.W. Bush, said in her opinion.
The ruling blocks the ban while the broader legal case over it moves forward. The decision echoes others in recent years from the U.S. Supreme Court, which refused to let Florida enforce a statewide ban, and district courts in a Montana, Tennessee and Texas.
Texas A&M has become a flashpoint in the most recent chapter of the legal battle.
