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.

A party full of people that are so unsure and afraid of their sexuality that they have to gather together and make a point of it to the world that they are really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really not gay, not even a little bit bi, absolutely bit bi at all!

Okay then, hope you guys have fun, then! Don't check what's happening behind the toilets, though!
