The Boise Pride Festival has canceled its controversial “Drag Kids” performance, and at least six sponsors have publicly withdrawn from the event for at least a $48,000 net loss in donations.
The festival organizers released a statement on Thursday announcing the “difficult decision” to “postpone” the performance involving minors “due to increased safety concerns.”
