Students sued the A&M System’s board of regents after they banned the “Draggieland” performance, which is set for March 27 at the College Station campus.

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 ruled that a drag show at Texas A&M University can go on as scheduled this week despite a Board of Regents effort to ban it.
