Someone’s feewings got hurt. I would probably go grab a free beer though.
Grab a beer, kiss a dude and then shout “this fucking bar made me gay!”
Then leave a bunch of positive online reviews and make videos about how this bar makes people gay and you’ve never been happier.
You need to wear tear-away clothes with the (pardon the phrase) gayest possible outfit on underneath. It needs to be a show! Make it loud and fabulous! 🏳️🌈
Seriously though, this sounds like a terrible idea in a bar full of homophobes and free beer.
None of these posers are old enough to drink.
Homophobia sucks, but the level of cringe in these comments is off the chsrts
All it takes it one sip and BAM! FABULOSO.
While C&C Music Factory starts playing on the loudspeaker
“Hi, I am a very straight man who… loves looking at red meat and eating… hooters. AT Hooters, where the straight men are. I would like my free beer now, dollface.”
Yep, grab the free beer so they have to absorb a loss, avoid the place like the plague the rest of the year.
I think this was the invitation flyer:
Every once in a while it looks like a bicept. I know the joke is penis, but I don’t see penis. I see chicken leg.
Does anyone else see chicken leg?
I see an elephant. What does that mean, Dr. Rorschach?
“The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout “Save us!”… and I’ll whisper “no.””
Oh wait, sorry, wrong Rorschach.
The comic is obviously an all time great work of literature, but the way Jackie Earl Haley delivers that line in the trailer made me think the film would be world changing
I hope you weren’t too disappointed.
You like thick trunks.
And I cannot lie
You other brothers can’t deny
I thought it was a poorly drawn air pod for a second there.
I think we all see what we want to see in it. I also think you may be hungry?
I think it looks more like a bicep.
Freud is spinning in his grave.
Two men come in: “Hi, I’m straight, give me my free beer and one for my buddy here who’s also straight.”
Bartender: “Here are your free beers.”
Man: “Thank you, and now here is our beer celebration”
The two men proceed to make out.
I’m tempted to go in there as a trans woman & try to convince them to give me free beer because they think I’m a dude. Given that I like women, by their logic, that just makes me a straight guy dressed like a woman, ergo… FREE BEER!!!
Please never imply temptation to go to Idaho again. I live in the deep south and even I’m afraid of that hellhole
I would just generally avoid Idaho if I were in your no doubt chic shoes.
Would be utterly hilarious.
And how exactly do they determine if someone is straight? Do they have them jack off to a woman before they enter?
“Get out back & motorboat Doris. If you’re not at least at half mast, no beer.”
I picture gay men coming in like Straight Holt to get free beer.
A d&d session plot called for me to be a gay guy and it was basically that.
Oh we about to bankrupt this fucker.
How is this legal? Is bro gonna throw up a “No Darkies” sign next?
Charging different prices for different people isn’t illegal. It’s the basis of ladies night.
What I want to know is how can you tell if someone is gay or not. People think I’m gay. I’m not. But there are people who keep telling me I should be true to myself. And I should. And I AM. Which is why boobs are just great. They just brighten your day. Just like “TA-DA!!! IT’S TITTIES!!!” and you make that public domain sound of the asian girl in amazement. WOWWWW!!!
I think some cities/states have determined Ladies Nights to be illegal… after lawsuits from the exact same types of dudes who think a heterosexual awareness month are a good idea.
It does depend on state law. Iirc in California only private clubs can discriminate on gender.
But discrimination based on race (or faith, or a few other things) is prohibited nationwide at the federal level.
I’m right there with ya pal. Everyone thought I was gay growing up, but I liked boobs enough, I had a pair installed.
You should try it, they’re great!
It’s okay, just accept it man, seize the gay!
I imagine they just take your word for it. Not some science-y thing.
sounds kind of gay to me
As a straight, I don’t get the “men only” part.
I’d be down with a “free beer for straights” night as long as the crowd doesn’t get all homophobic (I’m in San Francisco so even the straights are allies). But no women?
That does sound pretty gay.
“Yes I am straight.”
“Prove it.”
“sigh”
(Unzips pants while looking at a nekkid lady)
Kiss that amazing guy over there without getting a boner! (Filters out bisexuals too).
I hope the campaign goes so well that literally thousands of straight men go there to have a free beer
"Finally, a place for us straight men. Do you have a jukebox, because somebody plans to put on Bob Srgar’s greatest hits.
I made the mistake of looking through some of the IG comments and I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
I already don’t want to live on this planet, but the universe is federated. Problem is, Earth is the only planet with a userbase.
The others defederated us after we killed their admin’s son
All right, fellow-cis people. We have a duty to drink this bar out of business. I recently quit drinking, but I can take a night off for the team. Let’s go!
Who cares? Lol, why does this make people so upset?
I care because just like all lives matter, this is a dog whistle for discrimination and repression of minorities.
How? I’m genuinely curious; I don’t really have a horse in this race.
You don’t see how hosting a non-existent counter-event to the very real pride month is an inherent rejection of said pride month?
Not really? It’s such a tiny thing compared to pride month that’s it’s silly to focus on it tbh
So you think that it isn’t a dog whistle because… not enough people showed up and too many people are aware of it existing?
I think it’s a tiny, stupid, Itty bitty thing, and you are focusing way, way too much on it, yes.
I don’t think anyone asked you for your opinion on it. I do remember you asking how it was a dog whistle. Maybe you have a bigger horse in this race than you let on.
Depends on your locale
I live in San Francisco. If the Castro (gayest neighborhood in the world) did a “Straight Recognition Day” I think it would be fun.
Iowa or Kansas or something? Not so much.
It also depends on the context. Having that day not be inside pride month would do wonders as well. It would turn the event into an “Also” rather than “Instead of”
I agree, that’s a good point
People celebrate hetro love as a whole. The vast majority of society approves of us pairing up. Pride is about the people who don’t get celebrated when they pair up.
You wouldn’t go to a funeral and start complaining that there are other people in world that also had meaningful lives. You let them have their day.
So when people make these straight pride stuff it’s basically saying having 11 out of 12 months a year wasn’t enough, we need to have the last bit.
And yes I am straight. I just understand for the roughly 2% of the human race that isn’t they should be able to have normal lives.
Is it though?
All lives matter yes. But I need to see more about hetero day. I can get on board
I think it was designed to make profit off of making people upset.
But more specifically, you almost have to respect it. Target the same audience that still refuses to admit that James O’Keefe stole their money and watch the money roll in.
Right wingers love shit like this and will invent a backlash just to donate even more money to the business owner.
Yeah, I could see that.
I have no problem with people feeling pride about their immutable characteristics. Scottish and proud? Excellent, go put on a kilt and throw one of those giant poles; looks fun! I have a problem when “pride” is used to organize people against a vulnerable minority. So sure, enjoy your super straight free beer with a bar full of other totally straight cis men and talk about… Idk sports or something. However, given the current political climate it seems to me like this is likely a way to gather people resentful of LGBT pride’s efforts to claim equal rights. So it isn’t a gathering of proud straight men, it is likely a gathering of bitter hateful men.
LGBT pride exists to fight for equal rights and representation that cis-hetero people enjoy by default; it isn’t meant to gain an upper hand or displace cis-hetero people. Far-right extremists like to paint the movement’s goals as a way to erase white straight cis culture, but this is just reactionary propaganda to mobilize people against this minority group.
I agree. Honestly happy for them. I mean us.
!nottheonion@lemmy.world material?
Apart from the fact that this counter celebration is cringey and time-deaf, that’s also a really long-winded and uncatchy name for it. Why didn’t they call it Straight Joy Month, or something more succinct.
Joy is gay.
Straight Gay Month! We’re taking the word back™
Haha, strong ‘proud boys’ vibes.
It still cracks me up that a group of bigoted, homophobic men chose the name ‘proud boys’ for themselves. Surely they knew all the jokes that would bring?
That would add a funny side to it.
Oh come on! Let them be!
