See here. Despite how believable it seems this has been observed as well written rage bait on the internet before.

Kinda surprised to see so many people uncritically sharing this story in which
- non gay bar in Salt Lake City hosts a Heated Rivalry watch party on a random Thursday, two weeks after the season finale
- there’s somehow only one man in this non gay bar on this random Thursday night for this party
Screenshot of Bluesky post The latest HR nonsense: A gay man in Utah attends a watch party for the gay hockey show wearing a "Gay AF" t-shirt & is forced to leave the bar because multiple women complained to management about the presence of a man who they feared might get turned on by the TV show. Screenshot of Threads thread from tragic glitter which reads Went to a watch party at a local bar last night, *not a gay bar. I was the only male there. I sat in the back, watched and just kept to myself. Said hi to a couple people when I ordered. I was asked by the staff to leave after episode 2 because my presence was making the women uncomfortable. I asked them, very calmly, quietly and politely. I asked if I did anything wrong? 1/5 Bartender was so kind and said "not at all". I asked if I was disturbing anyone. She said no, and apologized over and over. They had 6+ people ask to speak to the manager. Because a guy is here and afraid I was going to be turned on, one said. Another I was there to watch people get turned on. I was wearing a black t shirt that said "GAY AF" on the front. I stated, but "I'm gay, this is a queer story and I wanted to share this experience with ally's." 2/5 At this point, the entire room was staring at me. They paused the show. I work from home, I live in Utah and my circle is VERY small since moving here. I was hoping to meet some new friends. Talk book vs show with some folks. Hear a different perspective on the story. I collected bag <-- a Marc Jacobs Tote bag. OBVI, gay. Grabbed my book and paid my tab, tipped the kind staff. As I'm walking out the door, the room clapped. Then the show resumed... 3/5 I don't know how to feel about it. I'm friendly, I'm a book guy. I get along with everyone. I don't understand how my presence was threatening or uncomfortable. I didn't read the book or love the show because of the smut. I love it because it was a realistic love story. A love story I NEVER see in tv shows. I lived through being caught and outed. I live every single day hiding who I am at work. I call my husband my Partner or Significant other. Because Utah.... 4/5 The 1 place I thought i could be authentically me. I was ejected from. Thank you to everyone on Threads who has not treated me differently. I know that most of the fandom identify or live a life very different from mine. What really has my head spinning. Why read a book or obsess over a tv show featuring two gay men, then in real life treat them like monsters. This show and book is healing a lot of my community. Only to be shown the outside world is still very much the NHL. Don't be the NHL 5/5
