A federal judge on Monday issued a temporary injunction, blocking the Texas A&M University System from enforcing its ban on drag performances on university campuses. The ruling comes in response to a lawsuit challenging the policy, arguing that it violates the First Amendment rights of performers and students. The lawsuit claims the ban is overly broad and unfairly targets drag performances while allowing other forms of expression. The judge's decision means the university system cannot enforce the ban while the legal case proceeds. Supporters of the lawsuit celebrated the ruling as a victory for free speech and artistic expression on college campuses. The university system has not yet released a statement regarding the judge's decision.
