The bar&#8217;s \u200cowner, Mark Fitzpatrick, said he wanted to celebrate the other side of sexuality and take a stance against the\u200d leftist agenda. This move has shown that there \u200cis a market for openly right-leaning businesses and that consumers \u200bwill support those in \u200bline with their beliefs.\u2062 The article also \u200cincludes a note from the Deputy Managing Editor \u2064emphasizing the importance of fighting against \u2062the elites and preserving the integrity of future elections.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/ccavanaugh\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/ccavanaugh\/%20\"><span>Connor Cavanaugh<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   June 8, 2024 at 4:26am <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>Conservatives want to support businesses that stand behind what they believe in.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for us, the vast majority of companies are more interested in pushing out products strewn with LGBT pandering at a rate that can make our heads spin.<\/p>\n<p>But while there is a concerning amount of companies stuck in a leftist chokehold, there exist some who don\u2019t fear being canceled by the mob and wish to operate in a way that right-leaning Americans can support.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bar-doubles-getting-backlash-declaring-june-heterosexual-awesomeness-month\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Old State Saloon<\/a>, a bar in Eagle, Idaho, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-check-did-jk-rowling-publish-these-tweets-about-being-adored-in-the-harry-potter-universe\/\" title=\"FACT CHECK: Did JK Rowling Publish These Tweets About Being Adored In The Harry Potter Universe?\">previously made headlines<\/a> when they stood up against \u201cpride month\u201d by announcing June would be considered \u201cHeterosexual Awareness Month,\u201d a move which prompted immediate outrage from leftists.<\/p>\n<p>Countless people flocked to the Facebook post where the announcement was made to spew hate toward the bar owner, enough that they had to make a follow-up post warning that anyone who cannot comment without \u201chorrific words, expletives, using the name of the Lord in vain\u201d would be banned.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, writer Michael Deeds for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idahostatesman.com\/entertainment\/ent-columns-blogs\/words-deeds\/article288881328.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Idaho Statesman<\/a> wrote a scathing column about the bar, claiming it is \u201cthe town\u2019s extremist watering hole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the pushback that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/justice-sotomayor-reality-liberal-conservative-court-live-frustration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leftists<\/a> gave, the promotion has been a resounding success.<\/p>\n<p>The owner, Mark Fitzpatrick, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/idaho-bar-owner-behind-heterosexual-awesomeness-month-speaks-out-boy-did-take-off\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a> that there had been a massive outpouring of support from the community.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Do you support this bar owner?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had a whole bunch of people come in, in person into our saloon,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve had people driving way out of their way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a couple come in, they drove 400 miles out of their way on their trip across the country yesterday,\u201d he continued. \u201cOther people have said they\u2019re going to fly in from out of state.
