Mark Fitzpatrick, the owner of Old State Saloon in Idaho, has initiated a promotion dubbed “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” as a counter to LGBTQ Pride Month.

The event, which includes discounts and free beer for heterosexual men, women, and couples throughout June, was announced with the aim of celebrating heterosexuality. In addition to the discounts, the saloon has also introduced ‘Heterosexual Awesomeness’ merchandise. Since the announcement, Fitzpatrick reported that the past week saw the highest Monday sales in the history of Old State Saloon.

At Old State Saloon, different promotions cater to heterosexual customers throughout the week during this month. On Mondays, men dressed in what is considered typical heterosexual attire can enjoy free beer. Wednesdays offer a 15% discount on the total bill for any heterosexual couple. Additionally, Thursdays are reserved for heterosexual women, who receive happy hour pricing all day.

“I was thinking of a way that we could celebrate the other side of sexuality, heterosexuality, the way God designed it,” Fitzpatrick told Fox News. “Everything that comes with the month of June is not something that I’m really eager to celebrate. I’m Christian. I follow what the Bible says.”

“I love people. I love all types of people and everything. But when you love people, it doesn’t mean that you have to necessarily get behind everything they decide to do,” he explained. “Especially with the way things have been going the last few years, as far as how extreme it gets in June.”

Earlier this week, one couple traveled an extra 400 miles just to visit Old State Saloon and show their support for “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month.”

Since 1970, Gay Pride Month has been observed every June to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, which catalyzed the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. Initially just a single event in New York, the observance has expanded over the years into a month-long series of events across the globe. However, Gay Pride Month has also faced criticism and opposition from various groups who argue that it promotes values contrary to traditional family structures and societal norms.

“We got close to June… you get that feeling of full on extremism and everything that gets shoved in our face everyday,” Fitzpatrick told One America News on Thursday. “I thought what could we do that is something different that would celebrate God’s design for man and woman, and we came up with ‘Heterosexual Awesomeness Month.'”

“We say bring it in, let’s talk about it, let’s have a real conversation,” Fitzpatrick said in regards to any potential controversy.
