Idaho bar celebrates 'Heterosexual Awesomeness Month' in response to LGBT pride month
‘Naked parade perverts should go to jail’
As much of corporate America embraces LGBT pride month, one Idaho bar is taking a different approach by recognizing “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month.”
Old State Saloon, a bar in Eagle, Idaho, created an X account earlier this month. The account’s cover photo features a background image of the American flag and the symbols for male and female. The bar boasts on its X account that it is “The World Heterosexual Headquarters.” As of Saturday afternoon, the account had over 42,700 followers.
The establishment’s Facebook page indicates that the business opened in February 2023. Support for the Christian faith figures prominently on the social media account, with one post from Thursday proclaiming, “Make America Godly Again!”

The business announced on Facebook last week that “June will be OSS’s inaugural Heterosexual Awesomeness Month!” It urged the public to “come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals, 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,” Old State Saloon added. “Each Wednesday is Heterosexual couples day and each heterosexual couple will receive 15% off their bill.”
A subsequent Facebook post revealed that the celebration of “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” will also feature “Her Happy Hour Thursdays,” which allows heterosexual women to enjoy happy hour prices all day. “Her Happy Hour Thursdays” join “Duo Deal Wednesdays” and “Hetero Male Mondays” as the business’ main deals of the month.
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!”
Despite celebrating heterosexuality, Old State Saloon insisted that “we love our LGBTQ+ patrons” and vowed that its owners “will not be changing our mind and give into the group of those who are responding with vitriol.”
Despite the slander and threats the business has endured for celebrating heterosexuality, the establishment appears to have achieved financial success as a result of its decision not to kowtow to secular ideology. The business reported on Facebook this week that it experienced its “biggest Monday sales EVER” while noting in an X post that Old State Saloon saw its “highest Wednesday in sales ever by 3x!” Two days later, Old State Saloon told its Facebook followers that the restaurant had “SOLD OUT OF FOOD” while offering the option to “bring food from outside.”
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.
A look at the bar’s upcoming calendar suggests that “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” is not the only event taking place in June at Old State Saloon designed to appeal to conservative or Christian audiences. The restaurant also has “Christian Singles Mingles” on Thursdays, Bible studies on Sundays and “Open Carry Coffees” on Saturdays.
Old State Saloon’s website reveals plans to construct “a physical location specifically for traditional and faith-based events,” specifically a “Community Event Center where conservatism can be appreciated, including Hetero Awesomeness Month-style events every year.” The business said it’s raising funds on the crowdfunding platform Give Send Go in an effort to create such a venue.
As of Saturday afternoon, the crowdfunding effort has raised more than $14,340. A poll on Old State Saloon’s X account asking if it should put on a “Heterosexual Awesomeness Parade” shows that 95.9% of the 1,431 respondents are in favor of such an idea, while 4.1% oppose it.
The “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” celebration at Old State Saloon comes as many corporations and major organizations in the U.S. are fully embracing LGBT pride month in an effort to show support for LGBT ideology. For example, most National Football League teams are celebrating pride month on their social media accounts. Some have even changed their profile pictures to the team’s logo bathed in the rainbow colors that have come to symbolize the LGBT movement.
LGBT pride month, recognized by LGBT activists every June, features pride parades that often consist of participants dressed in sexually explicit clothing, if not outright nudity. Old State Saloon has expressed displeasure with this custom, declaring in an X post that “Naked parade perverts should go to jail.”

BOISE, Idaho (Idaho Capital Sun) — Day use access fees at all Idaho state parks will be waived for Idaho residents on July 4 as part of a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, Gov. Brad Little announced Friday, as reported by the Idaho Capital Sun.
“As we prepare to mark 250 years of American independence, there is no better way to celebrate than by getting outside with our loved ones and enjoying the freedoms and natural treasures that define our great nation,” Little said Friday. “Idaho’s state parks showcase the very best of our state, and we are proud to welcome families, friends and visitors to explore them free of charge during this special occasion.”
While day use fees for Idaho residents will be waived, normal camping and reservation fees will apply, officials said.
Idaho has 28 state parks, which offer a variety of recreational and outdoor activities including hiking, horseback riding, skiing, bird watching, rock climbing, fishing, boating, swimming, bicycling and more.
State officials with the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation are in the process of unveiling improvements and enhancements at several state parks, including Lucky Peak State Park outside of Boise, which recently opened a new dog beach and accessible kayak launch on the Boise River.
Other state parks include Bruneau Dunes State Park and Observatory, Harriman State Park, Bear Lake State Park and City of Rocks National Reserve, which is a national reserve and state park that attracts climbers from all over the world to its dramatic granite rock spires.
Little said the July 4 fee waiver is a part of a larger effort to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence being signed in 1776.

We’re lucky to live in a place as safe as the Treasure Valley. Despite our growth, one of the things that makes our area so special is the way that we look out for one another–for our neighbors! That’s a principle that seems to have held on as Boise has boomed.
Despite low crime rates, there seems to always be one incident or so that makes us scratch our heads.
A recent string of fraud incidents in the Treasure Valley area is one of those.
Nampa Police initially warned the public of this because cases of fraud began to ‘mushroom’. Then, it took an interesting turn–people that HAD their credit cards were being ‘taken to the bank’, so to speak.
In a statement originally released on April 30th by the Nampa Police Department, officials advised the following:
We are not sure how the suspects are gaining access to the victim’s credit cards. There is a growing fraud scheme, “ghost tapping”, that scammers are using to access victims’ credit cards. This is possibly occurring in these instances. “Ghost tapping” uses stolen credit card details in Apple Pay or Google Pay, then remotely relays the tap signal over the internet to a ‘mule’ at a store, allowing them to make high-value purchases that appear completely legitimate. (We’ll share more information on ghost tapping in a later public service announcement that will also suggest ways to protect yourself.) The app used by these criminals obscures the actual credit card number, making it harder for investigators to link a victim to a particular crime. Keep in mind that victims still have their physical credit cards while suspects use the stolen card information to make purchases, which also affects how victims are alerted. So far, local investigators have not been able to identify a common theme among the victims (e.g., a specific bank, a website they visited, a gas pump they used, etc.) in the fraud cases we are investigating.
The investigation spans far and wide.
Authorities say that some suspects are in custody, others are being contacted, and others are still at large.
Now, a week later, the police are back to reaching out to the public–this time, urging people to check their bank accounts.
Nampa Police say that they have caught onto a pattern– there are fraudulent charges at Albertson’s to purchase gift cards, at Costco to purchase Apple products, and at Best Buy, also for Apple products.
