A federal judge has blocked the Texas A&M University System from enforcing a drag show ban, handing a victory to an LGBTQ+ student group that has scheduled to hold a drag show on one of its campuses later this month.

A federal judge has ruled that Texas A&M must allow a student drag show to proceed, rejecting the university’s attempt to cancel it under pressure from the Trump administration. The judge said banning the event because it offends some violates the First Amendment.

The judge said the board "failed" to show drag shows would harass female students and that the federal order on "gender ideology" justifies a ban.
