Idaho Bar Celebrates “Hetero Awesomeness Month”

And republican spewed hate continues.  I have a few of these to post this morning. We have to be as vocal and determined to push back on this attempt to force the nation back decades in LGBTQ+ and women’s rights.   We need to decide to fight for the country we want, one of equality and diversity for all as hard as they try to make it a cis straight Christian country.     Hugs.  Scottie

 

NBC News reports:

An Idaho bar has drawn national attention for celebrating “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” in response to LGBTQ Pride month, which has been celebrated during June for decades.

The Old State Saloon in Eagle, a suburb of Boise, announced its “inaugural Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” on social media last month.

“Each Monday will be Hetero Male Monday and any heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male will receive a free draft beer,” the bar said in a Facebook post that has since gone viral. “Each Wednesday is Heterosexual couples day and each heterosexual couple will receive 15% off their bill.”

Fox News reports:

Even Idaho bar owner Mark Fitzpatrick was surprised by the strong reaction to his Heterosexual Awesomeness Month promo in response to Pride Month.

“I was thinking of a way that we could celebrate the other side of sexuality, heterosexuality, the way God designed it. And that’s kind of where I’m at with people that support us and are like-minded. So we decided to do Heterosexual Awesomeness Month and then launched it and boy, oh boy, did it take off,” Fitzpatrick told Fox News Digital.

He added, “I’m not just going to sit there and do nothing anymore. I’m going to be involved. I’m going to be out there. I’m going to be rallying people to help do the right thing, celebrate godly things. And I think the rest of the country should do that.”

The Christian Post reports:

The business states on its website that its celebration of “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” has led to threatening backlash and “theft of our property, vendors refusing to fulfill our orders for ingredients, wedding catering [cancellation], libel, slander — even the owner being falsely accused of being a sex offender!”

In addition to the deals on food and alcohol available to heterosexual patrons, Old State Saloon is selling special merchandise during its “Heterosexual Awareness Month.”

T-shirts with the American flag and the symbols for male and female, as well as T-shirts with a picture of a glass of beer emblazoned with the Old State Saloon logo accompanied by a caption reading “Beer for Breeders” and “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” are available for $28.

In the interview below, the owner, who says he’s a former cop, boasts that “Idaho is everything that California isn’t.”

Their bible has much to say about being a drunkard and drunkenness. Not so much about being LGBTQ,

The reason heterosexuals don’t need a Pride is the same reason there aren’t soup kitchens for the rich.

(thought I saved that great meme and can’t find it!)

One of these?

You laugh but there are people who believe that the King James Bible (whatever version of that they grew up with) is the only true Bible. They are serious. It’s hilarious (You have to know zero about languages to believe something so absurd.) but that’s fundamentalism for you: Certain in their uniformed absolute beliefs.

The scary part of this is that there probably are at least a few Americans who are stupid enough to actually believe all this garbage — not just the idea that Jesus was somehow American (despite the fact that America didn’t exist until over one and a half millennia after the presumed year of the Crucifixion), not just the idea that Jesus wrote the New Testament (let alone the Old Testament), but also the idea that the New Testament somehow wasn’t assembled by people who existed more than two centuries after the supposed year of the Crucifixion and therefore could never have met Jesus of Nazareth or even met anyone who had met someone who had met him
