Christian nationalism rising: Idaho drag ban bill is latest step up in persecution
As Kelcie Moseley-Morris of the Idaho Capital Sun recently reported, a bill to ban drag performances in public is expected to be introduced during the next legislative session.
The bill is the latest in a series of bills targeting the LGBTQ community that have been authored or backed by the Idaho Family Policy Center, an organization founded in 2021. That organization has written many of the most controversial pieces of legislation of recent legislative sessions: the bill that could have subjected librarians to felony charges, the law to allow relatives of an aborted fetus to sue for personal profit and the bill to make it a felony to provide gender-affirming care to minors.
All these are steps along a path, steps many conservative legislators have been happy to follow. They should ask where it’s leading.
Blaine Conzatti, the director of the Family Policy Center, is frank, honest and polite. His aim, however, is to fundamentally change the nature of American government and society — though he thinks of this as a return to its original purpose. His organization seeks “the lordship of Jesus Christ in all of life,” he explained in an interview.
