Kiddie Drag Show Killed

Organizers of this weekend’s Gay Pride Festival have dropped the drag show for 11-18 year-olds from the schedule after seven sponsors, including the Idaho Health and Welfare, dropped their support.

Controversy erupted after conservative groups, the Republican Party, and others complained about “the sexualization of children” in the planned kiddie drag show.

“While the vast majority of our sponsors and supporters have voiced their support for the Boise Pride Festival and the Drag Kids program, we have made the very difficult decision to postpone this performance due to increased safety concerns. The health and well-being of the kids, their parents, and the attendees of the Festival are our priority,” a Pride news release said in part.

  1. Thank God!
    And now that we know the Marxist Brothers, AKA: Little/Bedke/Winder/McGrane won’t stand up for The People, can we vote them the hell out of office in November!!!

  2. What other events does the Idaho Health and Welfare department support? Why did it take the conservative groups to bring it to their attention before they did anything about it?
    Looks like the Idaho Health and Welfare should start advertising campaigns making people aware of child grooming and how to spot these evil people.
