Interview on Hetero Awesomeness With Old State Saloon Owner Mark Fitzpatrick

Ever since 1999, when the Federal Government officially recognized June as “Pride Month” through a declaration from Bill Clinton, the United States has seen a steady increase in the number of businesses trying to outdo each other in their celebration of homosexuality, queer, and transgender behaviors. By and large, most Americans dealt with it. After all, if people spoke out against it, they were labelled intolerant bigots and “hateful.”

This year, one business owner decided to focus instead on heterosexuality. He didn’t come out against the LGBTQ+ celebrations, he simply decided to celebrate heterosexuality. As the owner of Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, Mark Fitzpatrick announced that June would be “Hetero Awesomeness Month” in his establishment. Mondays in June are “free beer” days for any male dressed in standard hetero garb. On Wednesdays, any heterosexual couple gets 15% off their total bill, and on Thursdays, heterosexual women get happy hour pricing all day long.

No hate. No intolerance. No bigotry. Just a celebration of heterosexuality.
Naturally, the local left-wing newspaper, the Idaho Statesman, couldn’t leave this alone. Columnist Michael Deeds attempted a slanderous hit piece on Mark Fitzpatrick and his establishment. He accused Fitzpatrick of … you guessed it … hate, intolerance, and bigotry.

Anyone with more than two brain cells can visit Old State Saloon and interrogate the employees, and they see that nothing of the sort exists there.

Yet Deeds declared it to be a fact.
Perhaps it’s Deeds that’s the bigot?

God has a great sense of humor. Just like in Genesis 50, where we read, “you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good,” Deeds wrote a slanderous hit piece that caught the attention of news outlets around the globe. People from across the continent and even people from other countries are now contacting Old State Saloon in support of hetero awesomeness.
The earlier this week a couple drove 400 miles out of their way just to visit the saloon in support of hetero awesomeness.

In an interview with True Idaho News editor Daniel Bobinski, Fitzpatrick makes it clear that he loves all people. No hate exists in his hetero awesomeness promotion. He’s simply choosing to honor God this month instead of sitting back while the LGBTQ+ crowd gets flouted at so many other establishments.

Thanks to the slanderous hit piece by Michael Deeds, heterosexuals are stepping up and celebrating the hetero awesomeness provided by God.
Does hate, intolerance, and bigotry exist at Old State Saloon. Unfortunately, it’s showing up in the email, threats, and theft that is occurring from people who don’t like that Fitzpatrick isn’t groveling before a rainbow flag. But from Old State Saloon employees or its ownership. Not a drop.

Hats off to Mark Fitzpatrick for standing up for God’s righteousness and celebrating hetero awesomeness. As Fitzpatrick says, if it weren’t for heterosexuality, none of us would be here.
