Culture Idaho Bar Defies Pride Month with ‘Heterosexual Awesomeness Month’ - Straight men get a free beer on Mondays, and straight couples receive a 15% discount on Wednesdays.

An Idaho bar, Old State Saloon, in Eagle, near Boise, has stirred controversy by celebrating ‘Heterosexual Awesomeness Month’ during June, coinciding with LGBTQ Pride Month. The bar announced on Facebook that every Monday would be ‘Hetero Male Monday,’ offering a free draft beer to any man dressed as a ‘heterosexual male.’ Additionally, the bar is seeking judges to determine if patrons meet the dress code, paying $15 an hour plus a free beer.

Straight couples visiting on Wednesdays get a 15% discount on their tab. The announcement received mixed reactions, with some criticizing it as bigoted against LGBTQ individuals and others praising its boldness.

Critics like Jenna Nash argue that highlighting heterosexuality during Pride Month creates division and marginalizes the LGBTQ community. Some commenters sarcastically suggested that men attending on Mondays might be closeted. Meanwhile, several LGBTQ community members expressed support, appreciating the bar’s unconventional celebration.

Old State Saloon reported banning about 25 people for offensive comments. The Idaho Statesman published a column mocking the bar and its owner, Mark Fitzpatrick, for undermining Pride Month. Fitzpatrick, described as a conservative Christian and retired police officer, accused the columnist of lacking courage to interview him.

Despite the backlash, the bar remains defiant, reiterating its love for LGBTQ patrons and welcoming everyone to join the celebration. They announced all-day happy hour prices for straight females on Thursdays and the upcoming sale of T-shirts celebrating heterosexuality.

Idaho Bar Defies Pride Month​

I hate Pride Month, even as a gay. It's so corporate and icky, faker than Barbie doll. I don't remember when an edict has been penned that requires anyone one or business to yield to a minority party. Hell, try to be straight and get a sweet free beer and 15% off meals when you take your favorite gossip gal for "girl" talk.

Letting this man spread his hateful words just causes more homo-trans-phobia, he doesn't get a place at the podium. No nazi-speak in the Idaho Statesman. I wonder if the newspaper is going broke, or at least losing money? I bet it just might be, but I'm to lazy to check.

I approve of this because it's funny and pisses off retards.

When was the last time there was a normal looking protest like this?

Greater Idaho inching closer and closer to reality. Very good competition for Israel.

Never back down from faggots. Never apologize to faggots. Continue being based.

photos are probably staged and made to trick people into thinking they were normal. information was easier to control back then.

 

[Uncle Phil]

Nice on them for having the balls to mock the sacred cows. God forbid you treat regular healthy people as anything other than somewhere between "mundane unhip" and "total chuds".

There is definitely a market in catering to normal people. I just hope more businesses embrace it because you just know that self-important genderspecials are going to give this joint a hard time. It's discrimination when other people get gibs.

Not since respectability politics and other buzzwords got involved. Protesting to try and change minds and raise awareness of your issue has been fully replaced by destructive tantrums on the left, and walking in formation on the right.

About those guys:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattachine_Society

an early national gay rights organization in the United States,[1] preceded by several covert and open organizations, such as Chicago's Society for Human Rights.[2] Communist and labor activist Harry Hay formed the group with a collection of male friends in Los Angeles to protect and improve the rights of gay men. Branches formed in other cities, and by 1961 the Society had splintered into regional groups.

Hmm...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Hay

Henry "Harry" Hay Jr. (April 7, 1912 – October 24, 2002) was an American gay rights activist, communist, and labor advocate. He was a co-founder of the Mattachine Society, the first sustained gay rights group in the United States, as well as the Radical Faeries, a loosely affiliated gay spiritual movement.

Hmmm...

Participants at the 1979 Faerie gathering helped establish the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in San Francisco that same year.[60][61]

In the late 1990s Faeries sustained the New York City Drag March, an activist event held the Friday before the corporate-sponsored NYC Pride March.[62] The Drag March began in 1994 in response to attempts to ban leather and drag during festivities marking the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall riots.[63]

Hmmmm indeed...

Controversially, Hay was an active supporter of the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), a pedophile advocacy organization.[5][6][7][8] He protested the group being banned from Pride parades, wearing a sign protesting the banning during the 1986 Los Angeles Pride,[3][6][9] and boycotting New York Pride in 1994 for their refusal to include NAMBLA.[6] He spoke out in support of relationships between adult men and boys as young as thirteen,[10][11] and spoke at several NAMBLA meetings, including panels in 1984 and 1986, and another in 1994 about helping the group strategize a name change to help with their public image.[5]

Oh so it's always been exactly how it is now, just back then they put on suits and ties to dress it up as respectable.

Well...sometimes:

I must be balldo brained as when I read "bar" the first thing that came to mind was the bar association in terms of lawyers.

 

[stupid frog]

I approve of this because it's funny and pisses off retards.

Also, some of us get a discount.

Lol revisionism.

Scrolling down and what a shock. That picture of Harry Hay is like one of those stretching portraits at the haunted house in Disneyland
