Federal Judge Blocks Texas A&M’s Drag Show Ban, Claims Trump’s Executive Order Can’t “Override” Drag Performances’ First Amendment Rights
Gateway Pundit ^ | March 24, 2025 | Jim Hoft

In a ruling that should outrage every parent, taxpayer, and conservative voter in Texas, a federal judge has stomped all over the authority of the Texas A&M University Board of Regents—greenlighting a sexually charged, ideologically driven drag show to proceed on campus despite a commonsense ban.

Senior U.S. District Judge Lee H. Rosenthal, appointed by George H. W. Bush, issued a sweeping preliminary injunction Monday that forces Texas A&M to allow the so-called “Draggieland” event—a campus drag show hosted by the “Queer Empowerment Council” (QEC)—to proceed in the Rudder Theatre.

One of the problems with “queer empowerment” is that they don’t do anything positive with that power. They just go further and further in hopes of encountering a token resistance that they can then overcome in a flush of triumph, and go back to going further and further.

I own a business. I decide not to host an event at my venue. A judge decides that I have no choice. Is that about it?

Roasberg’s mother has a Jewish last name, too. I do not think Roasberg is Jewish, though

Apparently judges rule the entire nation and all other branches serve at their pleasure.

Excuse me… we just spent the last 5 years where retarded leftists claimed that free speech doesn’t mean you have to be given a platform to speak.

Texas A&M are well within their rights to deny events on their land.

Eh. It’s on a college campus. Far far better than the ir usual elementary school grooming attempts.

RE: Drag queens’ rights....

Every middle school student knows the founders argued for days over who to protect special rights for drag queens.

((Easy to see I’m kidding. Under state laws a little under half of the states require classes in government, the history of the United States or related studies. May be one on how the US was founded in 1619 in order to be a place to promote slavery.))

Well, I guess you could sponsor a tailgate party for some Hell’s Angels types in the parking lot at your front entrance accidentally at the same time.

Rope. Lots of it. They are attempting to prevent Trump and MAGA from fixing the country. If we’re stuck with their opinions, or at least they keep delaying what needs to be done until they run out the clock on Trump, then it’s time. Past time.

Sorry but nonsense.

This ruling will not hold up on appeal.

Since it falls under the 1st Amendment it’s ok to call them queers, fags lesbos, dykes, trannies without fear of being charged with a “hate crime” right?
We can go back to shaming them back to their closets away from normal civilization?

The Constitution guarantees freedom of speech.
It does not guarantee an audience.

It seems to me some rock group used the Hell’s Angels for security. If I recall it went badly. There’s a lawsuit you don’t need.

There is no “balance of power” when the President is elected nationally, Congress is collectively a national body, and a pipsqueak local judge is politically appointed and can grind the government to a halt!
