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.
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.
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.
I’m a cis white male, but I’ll suck some dick to protest this bullshit.
That’s the beauty of the gaycation
Omfg, that’s insane.
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
Why are they trying so hard?
Because they’re HAF as fun so they gotta compensate.
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.
“Dozens”
LOL
Hetero awesome fest
looks inside
Closeted gay men
Like my dude, just suck a dick and live a happy life.
I grew up in Idaho. Can confirm, that’s basically the whole population.
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 can recommend the whole album that track comes from, too. It rocks just as hard as this. Maybe this is more to their hetero tastes.
I GOT SOMETHING TO PUT IN YOU!
AT THE GAY BAR, GAY BAR, GAY BAR!
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.
Wrong, it was totally straight and not gay at all, because everyone said “no homo” before and after doing what you described. Just dudes having a good time
Wait, I heard one dude took his socks off doesn’t that cancel no homo?
This has big “why can’t I also have a cake and gifts” energy.
I went to a kid’s birthday party the other day. There was a little girl (maybe 4y/o?) there who had been to another party earlier in the day but left before that party had cake.
The second that cake was mentioned she starts wandering around going, “Can I have cake?” to anyone who would listen.
“Can I have cake? Can I have cake?” I was told someone had cake and I’ll be damned if I don’t get some immediately.
Heteros cant be pro lgbtq+ now?
Should rename it to bigot festival. Cant call it hetero with all the closest gays it attracts.
BIsexualGOaTFEST?
