Idaho Bar Stokes Controversy With Its Pro-Straight Alternative To ‘Pride Month’

There’s seemingly no limit to how feverishly businesses will pander to the LGBT community, particularly during so-called “Pride Month.”

But there are a few places that aren’t interested in caving to the pressure … including one bar in Idaho that is taking a completely opposite approach with its June promotion.

As Bretibart reported:

The bar, Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, announced the celebration on Facebook, inviting people to enjoy a month of festivities and drink specials.

“Come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals, for without them, none of us would be here!” the bar wrote.

The bar said that Mondays in June will be “Hetero Male Monday” wherein “any heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male” will be rewarded with a free beer on tap.

While Old State Saloon weathered some backlash from activists and mainstream media outlets, the business received an outpouring of support on social media.

Here are some additional details about the bar’s promotion, per the New York Post:

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.

Some companies have learned a hard lesson after going all in on the “pride” propaganda:
