Lawrence Hurley covers the Supreme Court for NBC News.
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a request made by an LGBTQ student group that was hoping to host a “PG-13” drag show on the campus of West Texas A&M University over the objections of administrators. The court decision in a brief unsigned order means the group, Spectrum WT, likely will not be able to hold the event on March 22 at an on-campus facility. No dissenting votes were noted and the court did not explain its decision.
The facility in question, Legacy Hall, is a performance space that has been previously used for drag shows, beauty pageants and concerts, the plaintiffs said. The dispute arose last year when Spectrum WT’s plans for hosting a similar event were blocked. Organizers said the plan was to show support for the LGBTQ community with an event that would not include lewd or profane activity. The performances would be aimed at an audience of people at least 13-years-old they said.
