Speak for yourself. I don't want them on the A&M Campus-period, kids or no kids.. Texas A&M is an educational institution and drag shows are not part of that.
I say if they want to have a drag show, then go have one. Just do it at a private venue. This has no place on the A&M campus. I hope the administration fights this tooth and nail.

Did you feel the same way about concerts on campus?
Stand up comedians?

From the opinion, page 13.Quote:
When, as here, "a university by policy and practice opens up an area for indiscriminate use by the general public, or by some segment of the public, such as student organizations, such area may be deemed to be a designated public forum." Pro-Life Cougars, 259 F. Supp. 2d at 582; Cf. Widmar v. Vincent, 454 U.S. 263, 267 n.5 ("the denial to particular groups of use of campus facilities for meetings and other appropriate purposes" must be subject to strict scrutiny) (internal quotations omitted) (alterations adopted)).

I think you are missing the point. They want it PUBLIC, and they want it in YOUR FACE. This is homosexuality spiking the football after scoring a deviant touchdown. Same as the Islamist spiking the football in the face of the French. It is a political statement to demoralize you and to attack our traditional institutions!!! Both are actions are battering rams against Western Civ. Against your values, against you !!!Quote:

This is very fake news. They sold tickets to hold the event in an enclosed theater. But funny enough, A&M admitted that if the event were to be held outside, it would be permissible.EX TEXASEX said:I think you are missing the point.

You tell me what is more "in your face:" A drag show held indoors where tickets had to be purchased, and shown during the evening hours, or a drag show held in the free speech area between the MSC and Rudder Tower at 2:00 in the afternoon?Quote:
Turning to the first requirement, the Board does not identify why A&M's stated interests are better served by banning drag shows from Special Event Venues as opposed to other venues on campus. Indeed, at oral argument, counsel for the Board conceded that under the five-factor test, if the drag show was held outdoors on the campus, it would pass muster under the Board's test. But a drag show held outdoors would expose those who are simply passing byincluding childrento the performance, rather than limiting the exposure to those who choose to attend by holding it in a theater and requiring a ticket for admission. Counsel also conceded that if the event was limited to A&M students, it would pass the Board's test because it would not be "open to the public," which is inconsistent with the Board's stated concerns about the effect of the performance on students.

Actually yes, part of the point is absolutely to be proudly, visibly, publicly queer in a time and place where there is a concerted attempt by people with the levers of power to erase queer existence from the public sphere. **** that. Spike that football hard in all the right faces.

Just so I'm clear: it's believed on this board that women are objectified and demeaned at drag shows, and so the only way to combat that is to further objectify and demean women with a topless show.

False analogy. This is not a concert and not a stand up comedian

A&M got played……..
Take one of the most conservative schools in the nation and they figured out how to embarrass it on the national stage.
This isn't about a drag show as someone dream to embarrass us as a conservative school.
We took the bait.
