On the Streets of Babylon - a "Gay Woodstock"?

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,..
 Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4
There seems to be a "Gay Woodstock" being held on the Streets of Babylon...
 
"The “Wild Goose Festival” is a four-day extravaganza of music, interactive story-telling, “reconciliation yoga,’” and “progressive Christian mysticism.” In other words, is a big, gay Christian Woodstock.
Taking place July 12-15, the Wild Goose festival boasts a whole gaggle of evangelical and gay-affirming speakers that include Jen Hatmaker, Tony Campolo, Frank Schaeffer, Shane Claiborne, and Brian McLaren. It is being held in Hot Springs, North Carolina as reported  by Juicey Ecumenism.

According to their press release dated July 12, 2018:
This year’s “Wild Goose” festival will feature Jen Hatmaker, an Evangelical author who liberalized her views on same-sex marriage, self-described “Christian-Atheist” Frank Schaeffer, “progressive Christian mystic” and United Methodist pastor Roger Wolsey, among other “spiritually non-traditional” speakers. Breakout sessions will highlight “Queerology,” “Reproductive Justice is…,” and “A Practical Guide to Getting Elected.”
Wild Goose” is loosely patterned on Great Britain’s Greenbelt festival, Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle, and SXSW." Pulpit&Pen
