Idaho bar celebrating ‘Heterosexual Awesomeness Month’ in June creates stir

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.”

The other gay boss was not one dimensional and actually a decent person, but the ahole and his partner were the quintessential queer in your face stereotypes like you phrased it miles deep on the gay and pretty much non existent on everything else.

They have a website oldstatesaloon.com with shirts for sale!

No shirts for sale on their website. This should be a gold mine for them to sell them.

If I were to go there, as a man dressed as a man, I just might accept the free beer, then I’d tip the tender for, at the very least, twice the amount.
