An Ohio park that often hosts gay pride events is deviating from that vein with a festival set for September that celebrates heterosexuality â from the viewpoint of white males.
The âStraight White Guy Festivalâ is scheduled for Goodale Park in Clintonville, a local CBS affiliate reported. Flyers for the event say beer will be sold, but illegal drugs arenât welcome.
Critics have already begun railing against the event.
âThis kind of think implies thereâs some kind of struggle going on for being a straight white person in Ohio,â gay marriage activist Michael Premo told the news station. âStraight white people are doing just fine. I think it detracts from the real problems of Ohio that need to be solved, that are being denied their constitutional rights because of who they are, or who they love.â
Others see humor in the event, which some say isnât even a genuine affair, but rather a joke.
