The University of Texas System will no longer allow its institutions, including UT-Austin, to sponsor or host drag shows, Chairman Kevin Eltife said in a statement shared with the American-Statesman.

Judge Lee H. Rosenthal said the student group that organizes Draggieland, the Queer Empowerment Council, was likely to succeed in showing the ban violates the First Amendment.

A federal judge has blocked the Texas A&M University System from enforcing a drag show ban, handing a victory to an LGBTQ+ student group that has scheduled to hold a drag show on one of its campuses later this month.
