Controversy over Texas university's cancellation of student drag show

The president of West Texas A&M University has canceled a charity drag show organized by students, arguing that drag performances are misogynistic and comparing them to blackface. The show was organized to raise money for the Trevor Project, a national LGBTQ youth suicide-prevention organization. The move is the latest in a series of recent actions taken against drag performances by conservative state and local leaders. Students plan to hold the charity drag event as scheduled, with or without the president's support, and protests will be taking place on campus through Friday.
