An Idaho bar said it was the victim of theft and other backlash after announcing drink specials commemorating its heterosexual patrons during Pride Month.
via Facebook last week it would recognize June as “ heterosexual awesomeness month .” The festivities would award free beer to “any heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male.”
June will be OSS’s inaugural Heterosexual Awesomeness Month!” the bar wrote. “Come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals, for without them, none of us would be here!” That post received over 2,600 reactions. Old State Saloon later followed up, noting the pronounced level of negative reactions the announcement received.
“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,” the bar wrote. “Make an intelligent comment and stay. Cuss and you are banned. Thanks. We’ve banned about 25 already.
The campaign raised over $2,000 as of Monday afternoon. Old State Saloon’s X profile is also currently holding aJackson Walker on X at @_jlwalker_ for the latest trending national news. Have a news tip? Send it to [email protected].
