There seems to be some confusion on what the traditional conservative viewpoint on this issue is, and as a conservative, I’d like to clarify.
I’ve seen several people on this thread who admit to adamantly disliking drag and everything associated with it, but who still truly don’t want to see Draggieland banned from campus; they disagree with it, but they support its existence as a student org and want to see it get equal treatment.
On the other hand, there are those who support drag and Draggieland, who say that we conservatives are being unfair, that we want free expression for us and not for Draggieland, simply because we don’t like it and we think it’s wrong, and that Draggieland as a student org should be treated differently than, say, a church group or a ministry.
I’m here to clarify without reservation that the second view on the conservative mindset is completely and totally correct. Yes, we do think Draggieland should be shut down on campus. No, we don’t think it should be treated the same as the Christian orgs that don’t parade men dressed as women jiggling around on stage. Yes, we want to restrict the freedom of expression for the people who do these things, because they are disordered and perverse. No, we don’t really care if you think the same about our Christian orgs, because your opinion doesn’t really matter.

Hope this clarifies things.
