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?

Jesuit Priest Defends Drag Show as Students Protest
Drag show sparks challenge to Catholic identity - The Spectator - News
Most shocking excerpts:
"I believe whole-heartedly that Seattle University is thoroughly Catholic," said Director of Campus Ministry Fr. Mike Bayard, S.J.
"To be Catholic at Seattle University means to be inclusive. Our Catholicism recognizes that all faiths are welcome here," said Bayard to The Spectator.
Still, even the Jesuits at Seattle U struggle with the more delicate issues of doctrine. Not all Jesuits agree, and many struggle to articulate their feelings on some of the more hot-button issues like homosexuality and abortion.
[The truth is the truth regardless of how you "feel." You can't just wake up in the morning and say, "well, today I feel that abortion is ok."]
"My understanding of a drag show is that it's men dressing up as women, now what is wrong with that?" said Bayard.

After 20,000 complaints Jesuit university still promoting Planned Parenthood | LifeSiteNews.com
SEATTLE, Washington, Tue Apr 12, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Seattle University, a Catholic, Jesuit-run university in Seattle, Washington, is still promoting student internships at Planned Parenthood on their website, despite 20,927 complaints having been directed to the school, according to the pro-life organization TFP Student Action.
TFP Student Action began a protest petition in February urging Seattle University President Fr. Stephen Sundborg to remove Planned Parenthood and all other pro-abortion groups from the university’s website, and to stop promoting internships to the nation’s largest abortion provider.
According to the University’s website, public affairs majors are required to participate in an internship with a public or nonprofit organization to fulfill degree requirements. The website provides a list of 29 such organizations with whom public affairs students can intern, among them Planned Parenthood of Western Washington.

Abortion Groups Still Promoted at Catholic Seattle University Despite 20,927 Complaints
Planned Parenthood Still Promoted at Catholic Seattle University Despite 20,927 Complaints
Over 20,000 students and parents have politely asked Seattle University, a Catholic Jesuit-run university, not to promote student internships for Planned Parenthood. The formal request also calls for the removal of several web site links that channel students to abortion advocacy groups.
Despite the large number of complaints, however, Planned Parenthood is still listed on the university’s web site and the pro-abortion links remain up and running. Abortion advocacy groups currently listed under “get involved” include: Feminist Majority Foundation, Legal Momentum, National Organization for Women (NOW), and National Organization for Women, Seattle Chapter.
More Pro-Life Leaders Speak Out
Since TFP Student Action started its peaceful protest in February, a group of 16 national pro-life leaders, led by The Cardinal Newman Society (CNS) and Students for Life of America (SFLA), sent a letter to the president of Seattle University calling on him to put an end to the institution’s connections to Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion organizations.
