Drag Shows

Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare called for a drag ban on UT campuses in March. Board chair Kevin P. Eltife responded and said drag shows are not allowed.

The University of North Texas System is one of the latest institutions in the state to pause all drag performances on its campuses.

The annual on-campus drag show at Texas A&M University welcomed hundreds Thursday night — despite efforts to ban such performances by school officials.

The ruling comes just weeks after a federal lawsuit was filed in an effort to block the school’s ban on drag shows.
