When longtime Boise Pride performer Jake Logue heard about the latest political threats to drag performances in his home state of Idaho, he was unsettled by how unsurprised he was.
Logue, 32, has spent his life performing: as a dancer, actor, cheerleader, drum major and, most recently, as his drag queen persona, Denimm. The stage is where he’s most vulnerable. Shortly after the Pulse nightclub shooting in 2016, when people were on edge, he remembers a young boy who came up to him after a show to share how inspired he was, a moment Logue said “changed the whole trajectory of my life as a queer person and a drag artist.”
