“An all-male Monday sounds pretty gay to me.”

The above comment was one of many reacting to an announcement from the Old State Saloon in Boise, Idaho — a new tavern in the historic Eagle Drug Store building — which inaugurated June as “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” and offered free beer for straight men every Monday until July.

...

As for his June promotion, did Fitzpatrick understand the homoerotic power of gathering so many confident men flaunting their sexuality in one place formerly called the Eagle?

“Come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals,” the Christian family man proclaimed on social media, “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.”

One can almost picture central casting cowboys, sun-kissed farmers, gym bros high-fiving after the game — and owner Fitzpatrick dressed as a cop.

So many macho men in one place could lead to unintended consequences in Boise.

I not sure if (checks notes) free beer is a good financial strategy for (checks notes again) …. a bar

Bunch of dudes show up at a bar for free beer, tied to sexual behavior.

There's going to be some torrid man on man action as a result of this. It'll make for some hilarious So how did you two meet stories.

It's not gay if there are no ladies present, right?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Ladies are normally attracted to men.

Isn't it better to get a blowjob from someone who is so straight they only think about women?

Is this some new ultra-ironic queer subculture?

The bar’s new owner Mark Fitzpatrick

and his business partner, Patrick Fitzmark

Of course after seven free beers things become a little… confused 😀

Especially when it's all macho dudes there - it gets very pirate ship, very quickly, maties!

Isn't offering services based on sexuality a crime? I'm certain it would be here in the UK.

Something something free speech something.

I imagine they aren't checking on the door to see if you sucked dick recently, it's just not going to be that welcoming to anyone who isn't a straight, white man.

I'm talking about offering free beer to straight men, not necessarily the whole event which is lame but obviously nothing wrong with it.
