Mark Fitzpatrick, owner of the Old State Saloon in Boise, Idaho, is hosting Hetero Awesome Fest on June 20-21, coinciding with Pride Month. Previously promoting Heterosexual Awesomeness Month, the event celebrates heterosexuality while criticizing LGBTQ+ visibility. Fitzpatrick claims the festival aims to promote traditional family values and raise awareness of societal concerns from his perspective. He has made controversial statements on LGBTQ+ culture and believes the traditional family deserves recognition. The event will feature live music, speakers, and food in a park setting.
"Our event is not about targeting any group but about raising awareness of practices we find troubling, such as the encouragement of 'gender transitions' among children or their exposure to inappropriate content."
"This festival is more than just an event, it's a declaration that faith, family and freedom are worth protecting."
"Pride month was about LGBTQ+ folks marching down the street 'doing disgusting and criminal activities while demanding to be celebrated' and the LGBTQ agenda is wicked, perverse and victimises children."
"We believe the traditional family is vital to society and deserves recognition and protection."
