Idaho bar celebrates Heterosexual Awesomeness Month and some people are REALLY triggered by that

EAGLE, ID- Good old American ingenuity…and quite a bit of testosterone. That is what an Idaho bar owner is showing after he declared June “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” to counter the vomiting of the rainbow flag across the US and around the world, Fox News Digital reports. 

Last week, the Old State Saloon posted that it will be celebrating a salute to heterosexuality, offering discounts and free beer for couples and men at the same time the month is recognized as “pride” month for the alphabet community. 

“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! Every Monday will be Hetero Male Monday and any heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male will receive a free draft beer. Each Wednesday is Heterosexual Couples Day and each heterosexual couple will receive 15% off their bill,” a post on Facebook read. 

In the comment section of the post, the bar also advertised for a judge “to determine if men’s chosen clothing is officially heterosexual,” and offered a salary of $15 per hour, along with free beer. 

As expected, the rainbow mafia weighed in and the bar started receiving negative comments on their post for trying to counter “pride month.” 

“It seems as though people who are against Heterosexual Awesomeness Month have a hard time commenting without using horrified words, expletives, using the name of the Lord in vain, etc. Make an intelligent comment and stay. Cuss and you are banned. Thanks. We’ve banned about 25 already,” the bar posted. 

On Friday, the bar reiterated its intention to continue with the heterosexual promotions and announced a “Her Hetero Happy Hour” for women and announced they would be selling “Hetero Awesomeness T-shirts.” 

“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. 

Old State Saloon owner Mark Fitzpatrick told Fox News Digital, “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 page, Fitzpatrick described himself as a “Christian, conservative, Constitution supporter, retired police officer, and family man.” The saloon’s Facebook page featured a number of promotions for conservatives, including “Open Carry Coffee” and “Christian Singles Mingle.” Clearly, Fitzpatrick will end up on some FBI terror watch list as some kind of unhinged white supremacist. 

Fitzpatrick also responded to a hit piece published by the Idaho Statesman criticizing his clearly tongue-in-cheek counter-celebration to pride month. 

“Because most Idahoans will see this dog whistle for what it is. Old State Saloon is promoting intolerance. It’s putting the ‘trans’ in transparent bigotry. This marketing gimmick is an insecure reaction to LGBTQ+ Pride Month, the annual celebration for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender pride in June,” the paper wrote. As is typical, liberals have zero sense of humor. 

In response, Fitzpatrick wrote on the Old State Saloon Facebook page: “Idaho Statesman writes a hit piece on me and Old State Saloon and doesn’t even have the courage to call me for a quote. Michael Deeds is a decently talented writer. Too bad so much of it is just so immoral. Viewer discretion advised.” 

Fitzpatrick continued: “And for the record, I love all types of people, including the LGBTQ+ crowd. I sincerely wish they all knew Jesus as their savior. Now, let’s commence Heterosexual Awesomeness Month!” 

Law Enforcement Today reached out to Fitzpatrick for comment to be included in this article, however did not hear back in time for publication.
