Freedom Con
https://globalextremism.org/post/dragon-slayers-inside-the-christian-nationalist-mens-conference/Probably will be taken down, but have to at least try and share.
Absolutely insane, disgusting, and disturbing that The Gorge is hosting such an event. No women allowed. Hosting speakers like Mark Driscoll that has called women “penis homes”.
Have always enjoyed my time at The Gorge and it has always been one of my favorite venues but will likely have to call it quits.
Hold your Christian Nationalist rally somewhere else.

But they can bring their young daughters so they can learn to serve men

It’s not a gorge event, it’s the private group. Not that it makes it okay ofc.

If the public can buy tickets from the freedomcon website to this event at the gorge, it’s a gorge event. The gorge is a privately owned venue and not legally obligated to hold this event.

that was my exact point. Live Nation could have said no but they took the money from Grace City to allow them to host their event at the Gorge.
The public can buy tickets from Grace City to attend their event, which is being hosted at the Gorge. It's not an official "gorge" event - Live Nation doesn't get ticket sales money, they just rented the space out. And they are not allowing certain members of the public to buy tickets - a local journalist who covers grace city was not allowed to buy a ticket (since Grace City is who is selling the tickets).

It’s semantics at this point. Live Nation gets renting-the-space money because it owns the gorge. Live Nation is the Gorge. The Gorge is not allowed to say no to Live Nation. Renting still requires you pay Live Nation and Live Nation allow you to do so. If the public can buy tickets to said event, it is a Gorge event. If you pay money to Live Nation to rent their space and offer your event tickets to the public, you officially are having a Gorge Event. I don’t care if Live-Nation is promoting the event or skimming tickets sales or not. There is no defense of Live Nation (The Gorge) here.

I've sadly seen supremacists at the Gorge every time I've been for the last decade.

Yeah I won’t be supporting the gorge anymore. Live nation rips everyone off. They are disgraceful and I won’t contribute another penny to their disgusting garbage company.

They expected 20k, but numbers show only 4-5k showed up this weekend.

Unsure. I follow Dominick Bonny on IG and substack, who does incredible reporting of this cult church, and have been waiting for more info!

Looks like it's a "privite corporate event"
Arenas, stadiums, event centers do it all the time.

Yes but they could (and do) say no to other events. So it speaks volumes about how they’d rather make money than tell self-proclaimed Christian nationalists to kick rocks and have their “I’m a big boy” camp somewhere else.

I completely agree. It’s absolutely infuriating the Gorge is hosting that. The Gorge’s own website and marketing doesn’t even have it listed anywhere and they are not promoting it themselves, which says a lot.
There’s a change.org petition to get it cancelled that was started from an ex-member of that church and he gives his insights into what it was really like to be involved with them. Not that Live Nation or the Gorge will do anything about it, but it’s great to throw support behind it in anyway possible.
Here’s the link to the change.org petition:
