Organizers of this weekend’s Boise Pride event in Idaho had to cancel a half-hour “Drag Kids” event after the producers started receiving death threats. Idaho Republican Party Chairwoman Dorothy Moon said that the Pride events’ sponsors were “financing the sexualization of our children and the perverse idea that children should engage in sexual performances with adult entertainers.” The party’s official Twitter page reflected similar views. The state GOP also encouraged people to pressure the festival’s corporate sponsors. Boise Pride wrote a statement defending the event, saying that the drag kids' performance is a celebration of self-expression and confidence. Pride organizers stated that children have performed in different Pride events before which builds their confidence and it is a form of creative expression for them.
