Dear Fr. Stephen V. Sundborg: Please Cancel the "Drag Show" at Seattle University

According to TFP Student Action:
Preparations for the "Seattle University Drag Show" are underway, according to the Catholic institution's web site.  The March 14 event will be the 8th "drag show" on this campus which has thus distanced itself from the ideals of St. Ignatius of Loyola yet still considers itself a Catholic university.

The event is promoted by the pro-homosexual Triangle Club.  Previous "drag shows" encouraged students to show up in "drag" for the event, and featured "professional drag queens" (men dressed as women) and "student performers."

Immorality masquerading as "art"

The university's student newspaper, The Spectator, reported: 

"Once upon a time, they might have been called 'freaks.' Because, once upon a time, people might have been afraid or intimidated by a male in a glamorous dress with over-the-top hair and dramatic make up. These 'freaks' are drag queens. And drag queens are now celebrated artists," the newspaper article affirmed.

 "As people become more and more accepting of the gay community, the term 'freak' is finally fading into the past, and drag has become a recognized and respected artform."

Drag shows are a notorious symbol of moral depravity, part of the sexual revolution apparatus.  In these times, one might expect to find such things on the infamous stages of Broadway or the godless sets of Hollywood. But at a Catholic university?

"Drag Show" Harms Catholic Identity of University of San Diego, Students Protest

The Catholic University of San Diego is hosting its second pro-homosexual “drag show” on April 25 at Shiley Theatre.  The offensive event is called A Celebration of Gender Expression: Supreme Drag Superstar.  Manila Luzon, an open homosexual drag queen, will be one of the featured "artists" at the drag show.

According to a statement signed by Carmen Vazquez, vice-president of student affairs, "students of USD PRIDE will once again highlight the principles of inclusion and diversity with their second annual 'edutainment' event..."

"The Celebration of Gender Expression," she claims, "supports the Church’s teaching on the dignity of the human person and does not promote either behavior or lifestyle that is contrary to the teachings of the Church."

However, multiple eye-witness accounts of last year's "drag show" tell a very different story.  This is how one student described it:

Some of the suggestions, which resulted were gender neutral bathrooms, an increase in DRAG related events, and gay pride parades. It became rather clear over the course of the two and a half hours, that the event was less about acceptance and more about an open rebellion against Catholic values. Make no mistake, this event fostered sinful behaviors and set the stage for more in the future.

For the administration of a Catholic University to take part in this scandal came across as a betrayal, not only a betrayal of the Church but also a betrayal of every devout Catholic student who attends USD.This year's drag show promises to be more of the same.
