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.
Don't forget the veins
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?
That's... how Conservatives are made.
What if we took a page of Bob Barker's book and have them spayed or neutered?
Eugenics is from the conservatives' book.
Then they shouldn’t mind, right?

Then it would just be pride month ? That’d be ok I guess assuming everyone consents

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.
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

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??"

I mean, my first thought was “Aww… sweety… yes, you are awesome. Have a cookie and let mommy watch her stories.”
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.
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
Holding hands implies they're trying to have sex. A penis, in a vagina? How do I explain that to my 4 year old?

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.

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.

This sounds like something a group of Incels would plan to get their buttocks to accidentally touch the buttocks of another young man.

Honestly, there’s no punchline better than this just being a thing.
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...?
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.

Grinder crashes immediately
My generation called that kind of party a “sausage fest.”
And not the fun kind.

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:

"No hate at all, it's a love thing."
But also LGTBQ+ people are "disgusting and criminal".
He, more like hetero sausage fest
Ayooo
my wife came up with this
Sounds like some insecurities need reaffirmation...
You all heard it. This year Hedonism will be held on the front lawn of the Idaho capitol building.
It would be great to see them do this, march around with their "straight pride" bullshit, only to have the LGBTQ+ community cheering them on with signs about the first amendment and acceptance.
Really drill into anyone who hasn't been paying attention, who the good guys and bad guys here are.
Probably a pipe dream since this would 100% be more about hate than acceptance.
