Students at the University of Notre Dame are pushing back against a school-sponsored drag queen event scheduled for next month.
Students at one of the most popular Catholic universities in the U.S. are protesting a drag event sanctioned by the school administration. The University of Notre Dame, one of the most well-known Catholic colleges in the country, is hosting and sponsoring a drag queen symposium on November 3 as part of a one-credit course titled 'What a Drag: Drag on Screen — Variations and Meanings.
In the weeks following the completion of the regilding of the dome and Our Lady, promotional posters appeared throughout campus advertising a drag show on Nov. 3,' students wrote in an editorial for a student publication. 'Months were spent regilding Notre Dame’s Virgin Mary statue, accentuating the beauty and truth of her feminine form in imago dei — a feminine form that is warped and mocked in the burlesque-styled form of entertainment that is drag.
University funding will be paying drag artists to come to Notre Dame, dress as women, defile femininity, and most importantly, promote the disordered ideology that gender and sexuality are fluid — in direct contradiction to the Catholic Church’s teaching,' student Merlot Fogarty wrote to Olinger in an email. Olinger defended the university event on the grounds of 'academic freedom,' according to Catholic News Agency.
Drag queen performances have become a tense topic in Catholic communities following the celebration of anti-Catholic drag 'nuns' by the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this year. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were given a 'Community Hero award' by the baseball team ahead of its Pride Night celebrations. The ceremony was pushed to more than an hour before the game and done with few spectators in their seats after weeks of outrage surrounding the decision.
