Jesuit University to Host Annual ‘Drag’ Show Friday

By Staff, Catholic Vote, April 16, 2024 

St. Joseph’s University (SJU) in Philadelphia will host its annual on-campus “drag” show this Friday, according to the Jesuit-affiliated school’s website.

“Join us for SJU Pride’s annual Drag Show where student, local, and nationally recognized drag queens will perform! All are welcome,” states the event’s official description.

The event will take place on Friday, April 19, from 8 to 10:30pm at The Perch, which is located in the Campion Student Center.

The planned show is further described as a “Diversity and Inclusion” event with a target audience of “all students” and “employee[s].” Its listed sponsors are SJU Pride – the Catholic university’s student-run LGBTQ activist club – and SJU’s Center for Inclusivity and Diversity (CID).

The SJU Pride webpage adds that the annual “drag” show is “[a]rguably Pride’s most popular event.”

TAKE ACTION: Contact Cheryl McConnell, President of St. Joseph’s University, at 610.660.1000 to let her know what you think.

Then contact Archbishop Nelson Perez at 215-587-0506 or dhuddell@archphila.org and urge him to put a stop to this scandal from happening at a Catholic university.
