A bill that would ban drag performances in all public venues will be introduced in the first days of the next session of the Idaho Legislature in January.
Conservative activists around Idaho and across the country have protested against events in public spaces that feature drag queens, including drag queen story hour events at public libraries.
The Idaho Capital Sun reports, in September, Idaho Republican Party Chairwoman Dorothy Moon called for people to pressure corporate sponsors of Boise Pride to pull their names from sponsorship at the event over a scheduled “Drag Kids” performance for ages 11 to 18, which was ultimately postponed over safety concerns.
The Idaho Family Policy Center tells the Idaho Capital Sun a draft bill is ready to be introduced as soon as the session gets underway.
