Boise Pride cancels "Drag Kids" event after organizers receive death threats

Organizers of this weekend’s Boise Pride event in Idaho had to cancel a half-hour “Drag Kids” event after its producers started receiving death threats.

The event would’ve allowed children to “put on sparkly dresses and lip-sync to songs,” the Associated Press (AP) reported.

But 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.”

Her false claim was repeated by the state Republican Party and other far-right websites and podcasts.

"AIDS: Judgement or Cure?" was a sign at a recent pride event I attended here in OK. Threats were SO bad, the committee had to have "mass casualty event" training.
