EAGLE, Idaho (TND) — An Idaho bar said it was the victim of theft and other backlash after announcing drink specials commemorating its heterosexual patrons during Pride Month.

Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho wrote 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.”

In another post noting “we love our LGBTQ+ patrons,” Old State Saloon added more deals including 15% off everything for heterosexual couples, all day prices for heterosexual women and “hetero awesomeness t-shirts.” The saloon later announced a crowdfunding campaign to raise money to alleviate damages received following the announcement.

Since we announced Hetero Awesomeness Month we’ve had some significant backlash: theft of our property, vendors refusing to fulfill our orders for ingredients, wedding catering cancelation, libel, slander – even the owner being falsely accused of being a sex offender!” the owners wrote. “But, to the credit of the community that is rational and reasonable, we’ve also received so much support from like-minded people who want to celebrate ‘Heterosexual Awesomeness Month’ with us, and get the concept of it as being about freedom and being true to our personal values.”

The campaign raised over $2,000 as of Monday afternoon. Old State Saloon’s X profile is also currently holding a poll to determine if it will host a “heterosexual awesomeness parade.”
