A popular Idaho saloon and restaurant is facing the wrath of the Alphabet Activists after the owner announced that June would be “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month.” Watch Todd’s interview with the owner.
“Come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals,” the Old State Saloon announced on Facebook, “for without them, none of us would be here! Each Monday will be Hetero Male Monday and any heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male will receive a free draft beer.”
Michael Deeds, a writer for the Idaho Statesman, blasted the saloon in a nasty hit piece. He said it was “extremist” and “the last bar on Earth I’d ever want to drink a pint.”

On Hetero Male Monday dudes who dress like dudes will get a free draft beer at Old State Saloon.
“How exactly does a customer dress like a heterosexual male,” the writer asked.
At first blush, I’d say any thirsty fellows wearing buttless leather chaps and a crop top should probably be prepared to pay for their beers.
The saloon also announced that heterosexual couples will get 15 percent off their bill on Wednesdays and on Thursdays, heterosexual ladies get treated to free brews.
The Idaho Statesman writer blew a gasket and declared that Old State Saloon was blowing a dog whistle.
“Old State Saloon is promoting intolerance,” Deeds wrote. “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.”
If anyone is engaged in intolerance, it’s the creators of LGBTQ+ Pride Month. They’re celebrating everyone except straight people. In contrast, the Old State Saloon is inviting everyone to celebrate.
“We hear lots of people are upset about Heterosexual Awesomeness Month,” the restaurant wrote on Facebook. “Please know: We love our LGBTQ+ patrons! We will not be changing our mind and give into the group of those who are responding with vitriol. ALL are welcome to come celebrate heterosexuality with us in June!”
That sounds might inclusive to me, folks.
Mark Fitzpatrick, the owner of the combo-saloon and kitchen and coffee house, said he will not be deterred by the newspaper’s umbrage. But he was put off by the fact that the writer did not bother to reach out for a comment.
“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,” Fitzpatrick said. “Michael Deeds is a decently talented writer. Too bad so much of it is just so immoral. Viewer discretion advised.”
“And for the record, I love all types of people, including the LGBTQ+ crowd,” he added. “I sincerely wish they all knew Jesus as their savior.”
By the way, on Saturdays anyone who buys a cup of coffee and is wearing a holstered sidearm gets a second cup free of charge. It’s call Open Carry Coffee.
I really need to visit Idaho, folks!
