'Hetero Awesome Fest' planned for Idaho capitol during LGBTQ Pride Month

Sounds like some insecurities need reaffirmation...

Grinder crashes immediately

Pride: "equal rights for all".
Straight pride: "all people are equal, but straights are more equal than others".
- These things always feel like someone shouting “I have a birthday too!“ at someone else’s birthday party.

It sounds like the most cringe thing ever. So yeah, let them do it, I wanna see it (mostly to point and laugh).

Honestly, if done without any hate to LGBTQ+, I'm all for it. We need a nice hetero representation, and hetero relationships are beautiful. This does include trans people forming hetero couples, and hetero-demi-/asexuals, and many more, so it can even intersect with LGBTQ+ in some cases.
All relationships and sexualities are beautiful, and hetero ones are no exception.
But I doubt it'll be done this way.
- the point of pride is it’s about visibility: relationships in pop culture are almost entirely hetero… you just don’t see queer relationships at the ratio they exist in society… pride is all about celebrating the existence of queer existence and our relationships and culture
  if you add similar things for heterosexuals, it’s saying “we have everything most of the time and this 1 time where you’re seen, we want to be part of that as well”… or worse, want to draw attention away from it by being bigger
- id be ok with it as long as they don't push it in my face
  
  I don't want to walk past and see them holding hands or anything
- Yeah, I'd say, if hetero people need an excuse to have fun and celebrate something, I'm all for it. But I have a sneaky suspicion that this is going just going to be used as a hatefest towards LGBTQ+ people instead. I would love to be proven wrong but I have a feeling that straight cis people who are open minded and accepting and not bigots, aren't the ones who feel the need to go "what about straight pride / international men's day?" whenever anyone else gets a bit of attention.
  
  I'm cis-het and fully intend to go to the pride parade with friends in a different state. It's going to be a great time! Idk why the largest groups feel like they need extra special attention.
  
  On the other hand, the concerns themselves are real, and if they will be addressed in a way positive to everyone else, this will be great!
  So, we'll see. Under current administration, the risks for it derailing into the hate fest are quite high, but fingers crossed.
- Most likely no one shows up.
  
  Or worse, the intended demo shows up
- I want you to say the same thing about black history month so you can understand how ridiculous this is.
  
  What? Are you trying to say a white power march wouldn't be full of racist twats?

He, more like hetero sausage fest
Ayooo
my wife came up with this

is it just a bunch of white guys standing around talking about how potato's are neat
- Fuck. Now I want potatoes.

That's the gayest sounding name for a festival.
- Three cool dudes looking for other cool dudes who wanna hang out in their party mansion. Nothing sexual. Fitness encouraged. If you’re fat, you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, nothing sexual.
  
  That should be on a flyer, but it should have an attention grabbing shape. Like maybe a bicept.
- Yeah... Methinks the lady doth protesteth too much
- First thing that came to mind for me as well.
  All the brodoser owners gonna have an orgy.
- Most closeted thing I've ever heard.

Gonna be a lot of gross people that no one wants to fuck at that event.
I guarantee it.
- What if they fuck each other?
  
  while talking about how not gay it is
  
  That's... how Conservatives are made.
  
  Then it would just be pride month ? That’d be ok I guess assuming everyone consents

Fyre Festival 3? They didn't even have 2 yet

Hundred bucks says the grinder app's going to get a lot of traffic that weekend. There's going to be very busy bus station bathrooms, and maybe Airport bathrooms? I don't know if they have airports in Idaho.
- Self-loathing is a bitch

I mean, ok. Pride isn't exclusionary. Most gay people have straight parents, siblings, friends and so on. If you feel the need to celebrate being straight, that's cool. If you think you're a victim because you are straight then I might suggest some therapy.

This sounds like something a group of Incels would plan to get their buttocks to accidentally touch the buttocks of another young man.
- And then like 3 people show up, because of course. They're incels. They were never going to go anywhere.

You know what would be the fucking best thing ever? If everyone showed up and was totally supportive. Like those hateful bigots are all marching and hollering and then here comes the pride parade with hetero banners and signs saying "Heteros Are Awesome!" and other really positive shit. And they'll be all like "We don't want your support," and we'll be like "Fuck you, pride is for all!" And maybe like one or two of them would be like, "Oh..." and then the world is a better place for a moment.
- For a moment I thought you were headed inthe direction of LGBTQ rebranding "All Lives Matter".
  Like some hateful biggot is chanting "DOWN WITH QUEERS" and then the Pride Parade marches in, and starts supporting them. And the hate parade tries to resist, and then the Pride people start saying they love everybody, and ALL lives matter. And then the hateful side says "WAIT! NO! THATS OURS, AND IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT!" And then the Pride people say "Too late! We've rebranded it now! We love you, baby!" And the hateful people are just confused like "what.....what just happened??"
  
  Or we can show up and convince them that there is an ongoing class war and politely let them know they've been used to fight themselves and that we have more people on our side of the class war.
- I mean, my first thought was “Aww… sweety… yes, you are awesome. Have a cookie and let mommy watch her stories.”

I'm a straight dude and would love to socially meet more hetero women... but this sounds like the lamest and (ironically) gayest event I've ever heard of. Guaranteed it's going to be filled with ugly, un-fun, angry people counter-protesting. You know the type, critically concerned with what the fuck other consenting adults do...?

Honestly, there’s no punchline better than this just being a thing.
- The turnout will be about 10 people.
  
  I dunno... there are a lot of hateful shitbag people out there

Straight people celebrating being the ones to perpetuate the human race give argument for not perpetuating the human race
- I'm hetero, but I'm also happily child free.
  But also I wouldn't attend this event. If people want to be gay, be gay. If people want to be christian, be christian. If people want to be a dinosaur, be a dinosaur.
  I don't give a fuck what other people do. As long as they're respectful to everybody, and don't hurt anybody, that's cool. You be you.
  Except for Andy Dick, whose last name is apt.
  
  False advertising! I want to be big strong fearsome dinosaur. Instead am fat disabled furry. 0/10 I'll leave an angry review on yelp! And the bbb will be hearing about this!
  
  I disagree. Fuck christians and all the fucking damage they do.
  
  Happy child free, may I ask how old you are roughly? Because to me it seems that this number and that happiness correlate strongly inversely. People are more and more lonely. Less family, fewer siblings, no children, ...
  There sure are people of any age that are happy without children (or generally with or without anything). But since you mention this and me seeing that correlation: I have to ask. If you are 30 that is essential meaningless, like saying you do not care about pensions. If you are 60 both statements carry a lot more weight.

My generation called that kind of party a “sausage fest.”
And not the fun kind.
- No patties at that sausage fest

"No hate at all, it's a love thing."
But also LGTBQ+ people are "disgusting and criminal".

I’ve never seen it, but I’m already sure their flag sucks.
- They hate rainbows so it's just a white flag.
  They should name it the White Pride Parade.
  
  Actually, there has been a straight ally flag for quite a while now it's not bad
  So i looked it up and that without the rainbow 'a' is actually on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_flag
  It's resemblance to old prison uniforms is quite ironic:
- It'll just be a poorly-drawn bicep (for manliness) that looks suspiciously like a cock and balls.

You all heard it. This year Hedonism will be held on the front lawn of the Idaho capitol building.

Please be all allies... Please
- Article says they guy putting it on is making an event to celebrate "family values". So, no.
  
  Family values... Like men and women having sex? Just call it "family fest" or something if that's the case
- It'll be filled to the brim with closeted gay men. Not allies, but not hetero either.
- That would be ironic if more pro-LGBTQ people showed up and paraded instead.
  
  Or the queerest bunch show up in their best rendition of straight acting, but you can tell the act is coming apart at the seams for shits & giggles.

This restaurant owner sure sounds Proud.
