The men from Thunder from Down Under, a Las Vegas based male strip show, graced the stage at the sold-out show at the Egyptian Theater Tuesday May 3. And they weren’t just in town to give the ladies a good show. In fact, the reason they came out, was to support Boise Pridefest. Boise Pridefest has been hard at work all year, to bring more entertainment to the LGBT community in the hopes of bringing more visibility to LGBT people, and provide opportunities to do things that people in a rural area might not normally get to do. Thunder has been on tour for the past few months, and they reached out to Rodney Busbee, Executive Director of Boise Pridefest, before their stop in Salt Lake City.
