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, Idaho Family Policy Center President Blaine Conzatti told the Idaho Capital Sun.
Conzatti and other 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.

Mr. Conzatti
Idaho Family Policy Center is a ministry that advances the lordship of Christ in the public square through engaging the church, promoting God-honoring public policy, and training statesmen.
As the premier conservative Christian policy research and educational organization in the state, IFPC is working to promote biblically sound public policy that protects the sanctity of life, safeguards religious freedom, strengthens parental rights, recognizes biblical truths in sexuality and gender, and stimulates economic opportunity.
Only the gospel can transform the culture, but the Great Commission involves a cultural mandate to prophetically point people back to God’s good design by teaching the nations to obey everything Jesus has commanded. IFPC engages the church, discipling Christians in biblical worldview so that they can winsomely stand for truth and make a positive impact for God’s kingdom in their communities.
As a member of the nationwide family policy council movement, IFPC will work closely with an alliance of pro-family groups in other states, as well as national groups including Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, Family Policy Alliance, and Alliance Defending Freedom.

So this is who the Idaho State Legislature is raking its cues from these days? Seriously?
