Idaho bar owner Mark Fitzpatrick said he’s shocked by the response he’s gotten for introducing “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” in June.
The bar announced they were offering free beer for heterosexual men and discounts for straight couples. The promotion took off when it was publicized online, with many social media users weighing in and voicing their support.
“I was thinking of a way that we could celebrate the other side of sexuality, heterosexuality, the way God designed it. And that’s kind of like where I’m at with people that support us and are like-minded. So we decided to do Heterosexual Awesomeness Month and then launched it and boy, oh boy, did it take off,” Fitzpatrick told Fox News Digital.
The bar owner said he has received several “crass” and “rude” messages online and phone calls. But he said the reaction has been “overwhelmingly positive.”
