A Boise, Idaho “Heterosexual Awesomeness” festival drew paltry attendance last Saturday, attracting only “dozens” of attendees despite its promises of “live music, food trucks, kid-friendly chaos, and hard-hitting talks.” At one point during the festival, a minor incident occurred after a pro-LGBTQ+ singer snuck onstage to perform a song about a transgender boy.

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.
