BOISE, Idaho — A minor confrontation broke out at the controversial “Hetero Awesome Fest” on Saturday when a protester took the stage and began singing a pro-LGBTQ+ song before being removed.
According to several livestreams of the event, including those from Old Street Saloon, the incident occurred during the two-day festival held on June 20-21 in Cecil D. Andrus Park, directly across from the Idaho State Capitol. Mark Fitzpatrick, owner of the Old State Saloon and organizer of the event, rushed the stage and took the microphone from the man after about a minute of singing.
Why the hell does the link just redirect me to their YouTube channel?
Edit: Seems to do that only with EU countries, other countries’ IPs work. Probably don’t want to deal with privacy protection.
Unfortunately, a lot of local American news sources have opted out of serving pages to the EU for privacy reasons. Kind of disturbing what that means for Americans.
We’re all victims of American capitalism

Then it would be US only. But it works for example with Switzerland (non-EU).

so its an event for closeted gay men, to be proud of their facade, and network/hook up with other closeted gay men. who, like them, likely have just as much to lose if they got caught. so they know to keep it on the DL.
i wonder how much cum was swapped at this event from one dude to another. i know it aint zero. im gonna guess at least one full gatorade bottle.
Are you talking about Hetero Fest or the Republican National Convention?
Bro that would be GALLONS of semen.
Like a 50 gallon drum at least. They’re like 40% closeted.
Yes.
That’s the beauty of the gaycation
Omfg, that’s insane.
Dozens lol
There’s dozens of us!

I don’t see why we don’t steal heterosexuality from these dumb fucks and add it to the queer community. Literally make it “OK with people who have preference” against “hates preference” if we stop letting them hide bigotry behind normal things, they can’t keep pretending they’re not bigots.
Random straight white dude here. I’m good with this. If my choices are either be included with the LGBQT+ crowd which also includes straight guys, OR be thought of as part of the hateful group who only includes themselves?
I’d rather be part of the LGBTQ+ group. My view has always been you be you, and let others be others. When you start hating others for being themselves, you’re probably the problem. Unless that other person is a nazi or pedophile. Because fuck those guys.
Ideally we don’t fuck those guys, we can’t risk them reproducing.
They already have issues finding partners, because no shit, i don’t want a bigot or nazi as a partner too. So they is already a natural selection pressure on them which reduces their numbers significantly over the next few generations, if we keep it up!
Just have some delicious drag queen tell them in a husky voice “Babydoll, you see that white triangle hiding in the back on the fancy Pride Flag? That’s for all you vanilla-ass straight motherfuckers. You already ON the pride flag. You’re part of this shit already! Welcome to the party, it’s already going hard, and it’s your turn to sing ;)”
My dude, this post goes so hard it made me blush.
🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏴☠️
I can’t imagine those heterosexuals. They’re probably fucking right now. Disgusting!
Hey, we’re just normal people trying to live our lives! Don’t judge us!
Don’t lie, I’ve seen the pornos on porn hub. I even know of all the sexual clubs you guys have. I can’t believe they let you guys have babies. You guys are Lewed! Totally. Even at work I know everyone is totally naked underneath.
Why are you such a bigot? I didn’t choose to be born the way I am!
Fine. I guess I can accept you all. But a handshake is close enough. Don’t be tricking me into a hug. I know what you guys are packing.
I rather enjoyed the song
That whole article is infuriating… WHAT WAS THE SONG!!
but seriously, this article paints such a sad sad picture for them
The festival, which drew roughly 30 to 50 people at any given time on both Friday and Saturday (at a park…in the state capitol… it was just people wandering around wondering wtf was going on lol)
“He sang a song with lyrics that go against our values,” Fitzpatrick said… “This is yet another example of lies and deceptions from the Pride community. That’s what they are: liars and deceivers. They do it to victimize children. It’s pathetic and evil.”
like, ffs. That was such an insane comment to make after someone sings a song you don’t like, but then you find out the rest of his “events”
various events, including “Beers for Breeders” gatherings, Conspiracy Theory Trivia Night, where patrons can win an AR-15 rifle, Christian singles events, Bible study sessions, and gatherings for flat-earthers.
What what (in the butt) by Samwell
I hoping it was Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax
Boys, I da ho, sounds very straight to me
I wonder what song it was
He also said he received death threats for his views about what he called the “overt sexuality” he sees in Pride events and people who identify as LGBTQ+.
The Old State Saloon has hosted various events, including “Beers for Breeders” gatherings.
My how the turn tables.
Can someone check if the active number of hinge users went up during this event?
Why Hinge? Are you thinking of Grindr?
Also, dozens of people isn’t enough to make a significant blip.
It might be in Idaho. That’s like 1/5 of Boise.
This is the hardest not the onion thing I have ever seen.
The title of the festival. 🤣🤣🤣 I’m fucking dying here. Holy shit.
I spent a summer once in Idaho in my early youth. Hard to describe anything there in terms of “awesome” unless it’s beer gut.
