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.
@Postmortal_Pop Pretty sure that’s already part of it. In the original Pride flag, the colours had meanings, and none of them were either exclusionary or definitional; they all applied equally to straight people, or anyone. It was always meant to be inclusive; hell, that’s why we use a rainbow. All-colour is a visual metaphor for all people.
Yeah but we need to really sell it. I’m tired of these people pretending they have a culture, we need to take away any hint of ambiguity in the discourse. Literally put a hetero banner and marchers right in the middle of every parade like it’s not the default but instead another choice.
We’re not fighting them on an ideological front, we’re fighting them on a tolerance front, so we need to take their every shingle ideal away until there’s nothing they can rally behind except for blond hate of the other.
