A George H.W. Bush appointed judge has barred Texas A&M's board from canceling a drag show on campus and explains why King Donald's executive order "cannot override First Amendment protections".

The Board’s position conflates biological sexual identity — which the executive order defines as limited to male and female — with the various ways humans have creatively described sex and sexuality in literature, art, and theater. Nothing in the Draggieland performance offends the executive order the Board cites. No male performer in the drag show is stating an intent to become a woman. Nor does the Board point to evidence in the record establishing that the president’s executive order on “biological truth” specifically refers or applies to drag shows. The QEC’s complaint makes clear that by donning clothing and makeup traditionally associated with the opposite sex, Draggieland performers intend to convey a message of LGBTQ+ support by engaging in a protected art form. The performers are just that: performers. They are acting. The performance is theater. It is not about individuals seeking to change their biological sex or claim a different biological sex. It is about actors who perform dressed differently than their biological sex. Again, the Board’s argument conflates the existence of two sexes with different ways to express sexuality and sexual themes. The record does not show that the Draggieland performance is in the purview of President Trump’s executive order or Governor Abbott’s statement in support.

Draggieland for the win!

Lo, the Rise of the Woke Right.

Dear God, someone make it stop. Does it have to last another 3 1/2 years?
