The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed a lower court opinion that had allowed West Texas A&M University (WTAM) to ban on-campus drag shows.
In March 2023, an LGBT student group, Spectrum WT, represented by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), sued WTAM President Walter Wendler and other Texas A&M University System officials after they “unilaterally canceled a student group’s charity drag show fundraising for LGBTQ+ suicide prevention.”
