This group said that previous attacks on state government offices this past summer were motivated by bans on gender-affirming healthcare for minors [1]. Idaho is among the states that have passed such a ban [2], but afaik the group hasn't attributed this most recent attack to it -- they've attacked many targets across the world for various not-particularly-convincing reasons. In any case, the breach data here seems unlikely to be particularly dangerous -- the article says that they leaked employees addresses and SSNs.

Drag queen story time seems completely unrelated to this story.
