An Idaho bar is bucking the trend and promoting June as “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” rather than celebrating Pride.
Old State Saloon in Eagle, a town near the state capital of Boise, announced the unique promotion via its Facebook page. The venue has received a ton of support on social media along with the expected vitriol from leftists.
The month’s specials include straight men receiving a free draft beer on Mondays and straight couples enjoying a 15% discount on Wednesdays, the Facebook page adverstised.
Old State Saloon added several updates to the post after its promotion went viral.
“It seems as though people who are against Heterosexual Awesomeness Month have a hard time commenting without using horrific 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,” one post said.
Another update said the establishment was “seeking a perfect judge for Mondays in June to determine if men’s chosen clothing is officially heterosexual.” The advertised pay was set at “$15/hr plus free beer” for anyone able to “determine straight threads.”
One follow-up included a link for supporters to send donations after the fallout from the promotion resulted in some negative outcomes, per a bar spokesperson.

“Since we announced Hetero Awesomeness Month we’ve had some significant backlash: theft of our property, vendors refusing to fulfill our orders for ingredients, wedding catering cancelation [sic], libel, slander – even the owner being falsely accused of being a sex offender,” a fundraising campaign said.
“But, to the credit of the community that is rational and reasonable, we’ve also received so much support from like-minded people who want to celebrate “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” with us, and get the concept of it as being about freedom and being true to our personal values.”
