Mark Fitzpatrick<\/b>, owner of Old State Saloon in Boise, Idaho, which launched its “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” to “[celebrate] God’s design for sexuality”<\/b> last year, decided to bring his whirlwind success (lol) with that<\/i> concept to an entire festival replete with music and merch this year at Cecil D. Andrus park in downtown Boise: “Hetero Awesome Fest”<\/b>.<\/p>\n
“The festival, which drew roughly 30 to 50 people at any given time on both Friday and Saturday, featured several visibly armed attendees and multiple security officers.”<\/b><\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, a scuffle broke out during the totally straight festivities when a singer onstage began singing a “pro-LGBTQ” song. Fitzpatrick stormed the stage and struggled to rip the microphone away from said singer as a patron of the festival wrestled with Fitzpatrick himself because he had no clue who he was and thought he was a protestor<\/b> (lol, lmao even).<\/p>\n
“The Old State Saloon has hosted 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.”<\/b><\/p>\n
Happy Pride, ONTD! Serious question: are the straights okay?<\/i><\/p>\n<\/center>
