Drag Show at University Called 'Sexually Perverse' By Alum

[William769]

A planned drag performance at the University of San Diego was called "sexually perverse" by a USD graduate trying to get the show canceled.

Lawyer Charles LiMandri wrote a letter to university president Mary Lyons urging for her to stop the show, scheduled for Wednesday and starring the performer Tootie.

"The teachings on Catholic social justice do not align with this event, and anyone with a formed Christian conscience cannot approve an event that is sexually perverse," LiMandri wrote.

1. He needs to mind his own damned business

I'm sure there are things going on in his own life that could use his fine Christian attention instead of squandering it on a cabaret show at a college.

I do hate busybodies. I wish there were a way to make that illegal.

2. I agree, I wish we could tell people like that to STFU.

4. He probably wants to be in those dresses

But his warped christian catholic mind won't let him. He might enjoy it too much.

So he tries to stop anyone else from having fun.

3. Every day, over 9,500 children die from diseases caused by polluted water*. . .

I think of that every time I read of someone wasting time and effort obsessed by wanting to dictate what college students should be involved with, or worse, what high school students shouldn't read.

Of all the important issues there are in the world over which someone can get apoplectic with rage about, the theatrical interests of college students has to rate somewhere beneath the bottom of the list.

Or would, of course, if the list were compiled by the 65 children who died just now in the few moments it took me to write this post.

9. Does every one realize that USD is a private college historically affiliated with the Roman

Catholic church. It is not part of the UC or CSU system.

[William769]

10. And that should matter why?

[ProgressiveProfessor]

12. Most people, even a fair amount of Californians, assume that USD is actually UCSD

It is relevant since the complaint referenced Catholicism.

I still think he should be ignored...
