A saloon in Idaho is drawing both jeers and cheers for its cheeky counter-programming to Pride Month, declaring June “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month,” billing it as a celebration of all things straight.
“Come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals, for without them, none of us would be here!” Old State Saloon in the city of Eagle wrote in a Facebook post announcing a month of festivities and drink specials.
Every Monday in June will be “Hetero Male Monday,” with a free draft beer given to “any heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male,” the bar said.
The bar even put out a call seeking a “professional” judge qualified “to determine if men’s chosen clothing is officially heterosexual,” offering $15 per hour plus free beer as compensation to anyone who “think[s] you have what it takes to determine straight threads.”
Wednesdays will be for couples, where “each heterosexual couple” will receive 15% off their bill.
Thursdays are ladies’ nights–heterosexual ladies, to be precise — with “Her Hetero Happy Hour” promising happy-hour prices for straight women all day long.
The Facebook post drew nearly 2,000 comments within 72 hours, with a well-balanced mix of people applauding the subversive mock celebration and those who took offense.
“This is horribly disappointing. I can handle differing political views. I CANNOT handle bigotry and hate towards marginalized communities,” a Facebook user wrote.
Another person weighed in, “Imagine being this insecure.”

They have a website oldstatesaloon.com with shirts for sale!
But they don’t sell the shirts online. :o(
Month? I’ve celebrated it my entire life.
I would go with my “best” chore clothes’ dirt and all.
Get my beer then pay for it and say thank you.
Heterosexuals bend over backwards to celebrate homo pride month. Now calling on homosexuals to return the favor. Come over homos. Come join heterosexuals in celebrating heterosexual awesomeness.
If someone introduced themselves to me like that I would answer "Well, my name is ****** and I love to have sex with my wife".
So, we’re not allowed to have any pride in ourselves or our heritage? The bastards on the left have done nothing but trash normalcy. They have made it essentially a crime to write on a paper “It’s OK to be White.” They tear down statues and throw normal people in jail for doing normal things.
How does it end? America has lost its way, as Trump said.
I can handle differing political views. I CANNOT handle bigotry and hate towards marginalized communities,”
.......
Bigotry and hate? So when hetros DO EXACTLY what the lgbt does it is BIGOTRY and HATE?
SOMEHOW THST DOESN’T GO BOTH WAYS?
Mrs Deplorable thought that it was great. I might see if there's a backlash on it!
This is great. Decent people should have their own special months. Why limit honoring and elevating people because they practice certain sins, or because they were born a certain color?
Idaho has bars? Who knew?
Correct. And particularly here in California, we white, traditional, heterosexual, Christian men are members of such a ‘marginalized community’...
Is this place really new? I just checked it on Google Earth street view and it shows the Eagle Drug Store at that address. The street view photos are dated August 2023.
?
It’s next to the drug store, on the corner.
OK, thanks. Not the first time Google Earth has been wrong.
Great idea!
About time we go on the offensive!
I agree there was only one dimension to the idiot, but maybe he made really good fancy salads and quiches.
Every one of them that I’ve met or talked to have pretty much only focused on the ‘gay’ part, leaving all else floundering in the wind. They are miles deep vertically on homosexuality but pitifully thin horizontally on most everything else.
