The Vatican’s Congregation for Education has said that a drag show that occurred last year on the campus of the University of San Diego (USD) caused “scandal,” according to a letter revealed by the group Alumni for a Catholic USD.

“Transgender & Transsexual? Gender expression & gender identity? Drag queen & drag king?
