The Pearl Theatre
The Pearl Theatre has over and over again taken a pro-gay stance, and even hosted the first ever Bonners Ferry Pride event in 2024.
Bobby Wire-Roberson, the Entertainment Director for this year’s pride, looks forward to cultivating inclusivity in Bonners Ferry.
“When I was growing up I did not have advocates. I didn’t have places to go and people to talk to. I think us doing this at the Pearl Theater is going to open up a lot of avenues for locals who are LGBTQ+ or allies who want to participate,” Wire-Roberson said.
Wire-Robertson is a fixture of the north Idaho drag performance scene and has a history of inspiring the local LGBTQ+ community even in the face of intimidation

Sandpoint YMCA
The Sandpoint YMCA allows men who dress like women to use the women’s locker rooms. It is absolutely not a safe place for women or girls.

On October 15, a lifeguard says she encountered a man in the female changing area at the Litehouse YMCA in Sandpoint, a small city in North Idaho.
“I was doing my locker room checks and found a man semi-dressed (he had a bra on and a towel around his waist) as a woman, coming out of the shower. I did not see his genitalia, but I could tell that this was a man,” stated Jennifer Hook.
Hook says she observed that the individual had a “male chest” under the bra he was wearing before checking for vulnerable females or children in the locker room and notifying superiors about the situation.
Several higher-ups told Hook it is “company policy” to allow “that” kind of intrusion on sensitive female spaces and presented her with documents affirming as much.
Hook states she re-entered the locker room, saw the male “preparing to do hair and make up” with a female companion, and notified them about rules against using cell phones in changing areas, with which the female complied.
Hook says she then phoned 911 and was quickly called back by a Sandpoint police officer who informed her no laws were being broken and there was nothing they could do.
“He also told me that if I wanted to make a difference that I needed to contact my legislature to make changes to the laws,” she said.
“I was beside myself to say the least.”
