Idaho bar sparks controversy with ‘straight pride’ promotion highlighting issues with woke culture
Introducing Heterosexual Awesomeness Month as an alternative to Pride Month.
A bar in Idaho, the Old State Saloon, has stirred up controversy with their idea of offering drink specials for heterosexual individuals and couples throughout June.
While June is traditionally known as Pride month celebrating various sexual orientations and gender identities, this bar is engaging in a bit of political satire while aiming to attract customers and make a profit.
This concept is as American as apple pie and has already received backlash from some for being perceived as discriminatory.
One commentator criticized the bar for promoting hate towards marginalized communities, showing how sensitive some individuals can be when faced with differing viewpoints.
The bar’s promotion has sparked joyless responses, but also highlights the fragility beneath the pride that some people have in their identities.
The bar’s humorous approach has clearly struck a nerve, leading to outrage and complaints about perceived bigotry.
Despite the backlash, the Old State Saloon is sticking to their promotion and encouraging others to relax, enjoy a drink, and let go of excessive woke ideologies.
