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.

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.

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 ;)"

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!
