University of San Diego holds drag show despite Catholic protests
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The University of San Diego has held a show on its campus featuring drag queens, despite repeated protests from Catholic students in the days leading up to the event.
The show, called "Supreme Drag Superstar," took place last week in the university’s Shiley Theatre.
During the show, a group of Catholics, including students, prayed the rosary in protest in another part of the campus, 10 News reports.

"I think that’s creating a conflict and I think a lot of Catholics on campus are feeling defensive about that."
The university said they let the show go on because they support dignity and equality, NBC San Diego reports.
