And that\u2019s kind of like where I\u2019m 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,\u201d Fitzpatrick told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/idaho-bar-owner-behind-heterosexual-awesomeness-month-speaks-out-boy-did-take-off\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fox News Digital<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The bar owner said he has received several \u201ccrass\u201d and \u201crude\u201d messages online and phone calls.

We\u2019ve had people driving way out of their way. We had a couple come in, they drove 400 miles out of their way on their trip across the country yesterday \u2026 and other people have said they\u2019re going to fly in from out of state. Other people said that next time they\u2019re in the state, they\u2019re going to stop by and support us,\u201d Fitzpatrick told the outlet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-furious-ca-restaurant-owner-confronts-inspectors-issuing-citation-are-you-gonna-pay-my-rent\/\" title=\"WATCH: Furious CA Restaurant Owner Confronts Inspectors Issuing Citation: \u2018Are You Gonna Pay My Rent?\u2019\">business owner<\/a> said he started the promotion because he is Christian and doesn\u2019t support Pride Month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019m Christian. I follow what the Bible says. I love people. I love all types of people and everything. But when you love people, it doesn\u2019t mean that you have to necessarily get behind everything they decide to do. And, especially with the way things have been going the last few years, as far as how extreme it gets in June,\u201d Fitzpatrick said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He added, \u201cI\u2019m not just going to sit there and do nothing anymore. I\u2019m going to be involved. I\u2019m going to be out there. I\u2019m going to be rallying people to help do the right thing, celebrate godly things.
