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
