The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed a previous ruling by Judge Matt Kacsmaryk that had allowed West Texas A&M University to ban a charity drag show organized by an LGBTQ student group on campus. The reversal was issued by Judge Leslie Southwick, an appointee of President George W. Bush, who found that the university violated the First Amendment by blocking the student group's event. The decision was divided, with Judge James Ho dissenting strongly against the majority opinion. The case has drawn attention to issues of free speech and campus policies regarding LGBTQ events. Meanwhile, a related discussion on the topic of "doxing"—the public release of personal information to call out or pressure individuals—was featured in a recent episode of the Hoover Institution's podcast "Free Speech Unmuted," hosted by Eugene Volokh and Jane Yakowitz.
