Unicorn Rainbow is an Idaho-based drag performer. She is a disabled, plus-sized queen who uses drag to communicate that that even if you have shortcomings that you can continue to succeed and grow. We interviewed Unicorn Rainbow and other drag performers from Idaho to get their perspective on why it's important that we protect drag in Idaho.

Protect Drag In Idaho: Unicorn Rainbow

A graphic with Unicorn Rainbow, an Idaho drag artist. Quote: “Different types of drag exist; educating someone about these varieties might be necessary. The spectrum ranges from G-rated readings for kids to mature shows for 21+ audiences.”

Drag is Self-Expression

Drag encompasses dance, music, and fashion, comedy, education, and political activism as creative self-expressions protected by the First Amendment.

A graphic featuring Unicorn Rainbow, an Idaho drag artist. Quote: "Drag is part of the queer experience. It saves lives by offering a safe space for self-expression, free from judgment. It’s a different world, one where people can truly be themselves."

Drag is Vital to LGBTQ Culture

Attempt to ban drag in public performances is an absurd attempt to erase LGBTQ visibility. 

Graphic with Unicorn Rainbow, Idaho drag artist. Quote: "Queer Collective Productions, a new drag group, emerged to raise funds and awareness against anti-drag legislation. In Twin Falls, the response unified people to both protest and perform together."

Violence and threats aim to silence LGBTQ voices

Families, performers, and businesses have a right to attend and host drag events.

Drag performances are cultural and gender expressions

Performances are not sexual exhibitions, instead they are cultural and gender expressions protected by the First Amendment.

ABOUT THE CENTER STAGE STORY PROJECT

We center the stories of drag performers across Idaho to celebrate queer joy and advocate for the protection of drag performances as legal art form and first amendment right in Idaho. We believe in the value of visibility and the understanding of being seen is a crucial factor in preserving lives. Our intention is for performers to redefine the narrative of drag and expand the public perception of its true essence through their stories and lived experiences. Drag is a form of creative expression like any other and has always been about joy and acceptance. The stories shared on this page are here to celebrate and advocate to protect the constitutionally guaranteed right to dance, fashion, music, and DRAG!
