"Supreme Court Refuses to Intervene in Texas University Drag Show Dispute"

The Supreme Court declined to intervene in a dispute over a drag show at a public university in Texas, rejecting a request from an L.G.B.T.Q. student group to allow the performance on campus. The group argued that the university president's refusal violated the First Amendment. The president had cited religious reasons for canceling the show, calling drag shows "derisive, divisive, and demoralizing misogyny." This decision comes amid increasing efforts in some Republican-led states to restrict drag show performances.
