US EditionIdaho's Hetero Awesome Fest Flops Amid Controversy - Idaho Statesman
- The Hetero Awesome Fest, organized by Mark Fitzpatrick, took place June 20-21 in Cecil D. Andrus Park, Boise, as an alternative to Pride Month events.
- The event aimed to celebrate traditional gender norms amid little community support and coincided with June's national Pride Month and recent Canyon County Pride.
- Boise singer-songwriter Daniel Hamrick performed a pro-trans song on June 21 but was removed after Fitzpatrick cut his microphone, citing conflicting values.
- Attendance estimates ranged from 30 to 50 people across the two days, and Fitzpatrick said the LGBTQ+ community uses tactics to "victimize children," drawing criticism.
- The festival ended with no confirmed return, while Boise’s official Pride remains scheduled for September amid ongoing local tensions.
