An Idaho bar, Old State Saloon, is blazing its own path by celebrating June as “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month,” diverting from the typical Pride Month celebrations observed across the country. The Eagle-based bar announced the promotion on its Facebook page, generating substantial support alongside criticism from left-leaning factions.<\/p>\n
The promotional offers include a free draft beer for straight men on Mondays and a 15% discount for heterosexual couples on Wednesdays. After the announcement took off, the bar made follow-up posts to manage expectational backlash and outline rules for engagement on its page.<\/p>\n
According to one update, Old State Saloon planned to hire a judge to decide if men’s attire was “officially heterosexual” for their Monday promotion. The pay was set at “$15\/hr plus free beer” for anyone who could “determine straight threads.”<\/p>\n
Despite the mixed reactions and some adverse consequences \u2013 such as property theft, suppliers refusing orders, and defamation \u2013 Old State Saloon further indicated that it had received significant community support. The bar said the concept aimed at promoting freedom and honoring personal values.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
