Racist Alert: While live-streaming at the Hetero Awesome Fest and discussing the benefits of living in Boise, Idaho, David J. Reilly, host of the self-described American Nationalist podcast The Backlash, bragged that, "There aren't any black people here."

Yeah this is pretty explicitly hate based. Rational people know and acknowledge that everyone is welcome at Pride so long as you don’t act like a raging prick.

The event, organized by bar-owner Mark Fitzpatrick and held at Cecil D. Andrus Park across from the Idaho State Capitol [...] Fitzpatrick reportedly rushed the stage and took the microphone from Hamrick and then got into a scuffle with another attendee[...]

“He sang a song with lyrics that go against our values.”

What a hate-filled loser. His "values" are discriminating against and hurting people who are different from him.

“In the name of equality & equal rights, I have created this event to celebrate our right to be heterosexual, and to encourage younger heterosexuals that they should be proud of their heterosexuality.”

It just goes to show that when they talk about the LGBTQ+ community "targeting kids," it is, once again, entirely projection.

Also, I'm not heterosexual and I'm not young anymore, but does their explanation sound as cringey as I think it does? I get the same vibe as whenever an adult tries to make something "cool," and because they pushed it, it instantly becomes uncool.

I think "dozens" is exaggerating a bit, looking at the footage. I'd say there were about 4 people.

It cracks me up that these people seem to think heterosexuality is such a low percentage that they need to prop up the lifestyle. /s start - Oh no like one in ten folks don't do things like us. WE ARE FACING EXTINCTION!!! - /s end

Love it!

Fucking hateful bigots deserve all the shame and public humiliation.

This article is comedy gold! I particularly enjoyed the list of straight pride events in the past, such big successes!

I tried to look up the artist (Daniel Hamrick) and the top results are all about the murder of Daniel Hambrick, a black man that was shot by a cop while he was running away. This is America.

is there any video of the song?

i love the lyrics but can't find a video

Now that's art!

The unfortunate truth is that this is the mentality that controls the laws and the budget.
