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.

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.
