Bar names June ‘Heterosexual Awesomeness Month,’ gives free beer to straight men
EAGLE, Idaho (KPTV/Gray News) – A bar in Idaho is celebrating what it calls “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” in June.
The Old State Saloon announced that it would begin a celebration of heterosexuality with discounts and free beer for couples and men.
June is generally recognized as Pride Month for LGBTQ+ people.
“June will be OSS’s inaugural Heterosexual Awesomeness Month! Come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals, for without them, none of us would be here!” the bar’s Facebook post reads.
On Mondays, the bar will celebrate “Hetero Male Monday” where any “heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male will receive a free draft beer.”
The bar said it is looking to hire someone at $15 an hour who will be the judge to determine if a man’s clothing is deemed heterosexual.
On Wednesdays, the bar will celebrate “Heterosexual Couples Day” where heterosexual couples will receive 15% off their bill.
The bar received plenty of positive and negative comments on the post. Despite any blowback, the bar said they would proceed.
“We hear lots of people are upset about Heterosexual Awesomeness Month! Please know: 1) We love our LGBTQ+ patrons! 2) We will not be changing our mind and give into the group of those who are responding with vitriol. 3) ALL are welcome to come celebrate heterosexuality with us in June!” the bar wrote in another post.
In a statement to KPTV, Old State Saloon owner Mark Fitzpatrick said, “It’s my dream to build a community event center on some nearby land I own to help support conservative ideals. We’ve received so many truly evil comments from the extreme LGBTQ+ crowd. Some of the comments are truly horrific. But, there’s also been so much support!”
On his Zillow page, Fitzpatrick described himself as a “Christian, conservative, Constitution supporter, retired police officer, and family man.”
The Old Stage Saloon Facebook page also featured promotions for conservatives such as “Open Carry Coffee” and “Christian Singles Mingle.”
