‘Pride Month’ Meets Its Match: Christian Group Cooks Up ‘Hetero Awesomeness’ Plan for State Capitol During June

If you really think about the seven deadly sins, you realize that they all involve not feelings, but self-obsessed behavior.

Small wonder, therefore, that those who celebrate their own sexual proclivities each June call the annual event “pride month.”

By contrast, a new “Hetero Awesome Fest,” scheduled for June 20 and 21 near the state Capitol in Boise, Idaho, and promoted by the group Heterosexual Awesomeness, which has formal 501(c)(3) status as a nonprofit, represents the perfect Christian antidote to self-obsessed pride, for the festival’s lighthearted title alone demonstrates that its organizers and supporters do not take themselves too seriously.

According to NBC News, the idea for a Heterosexual Awesomeness Month originated with 47-year-old Mark Fitzpatrick, father of six children and owner of the Old State Saloon in the Boise suburb of Eagle.

Fitzpatrick's sincere-yet-lighthearted approach to a serious cultural threat should help wash away the deadly sin of pride.

From the Herero Awesome website:

“Our founder’s a follower of Christ, unashamed, and the more we peel back the world’s evil—Satanic lies dripping from every corner—the clearer it gets: Jesus is the true King of kings. Christ IS king!
But here’s the deal: everyone’s on their own trek to find God—different trails, same mountain. You don’t have to be Christian to ride with us—ambassadors, supporters, staff, whoever—we’re not here to shove a Bible down your throat. Respect for each other’s faith journey is non-negotiable; so is having humility when approaching scripture. Nobody’s got it all figured out, and pretending otherwise is a fool’s game.”

Not liking the “different trails same mountain” statement because to me it sounds like “many paths” of universalism. But they probably did not intend for it to come across that way.

Not too sure I am comfortable with the “Hetero Awesome Fest,” celebration either. Either way kind of sounds like pride but maybe I am reading too much into it. Having a "let's follow and believe what the Bible says" would be a whole lot better but probably would not go over well in this day and age. Sigh.....come Lord Jesus!

Just saw an article on Prophecy Update that a majority of sponsors for the Pride Month are pulling out. Agree with Kem, pride should not be celebrated in any form.

From the end of the article:
“President Donald Trump’s administration has also taken aim at some of the grotesque injustices associated with transgender ideology.

In short, high tide for self-obsessed pride might already have come and gone. May the ascent of Christian humility finally help wash away those deadly sins.”
