Happy Pride Month!

HAPPY PRIDE, FRUITS 🥧🌈 A gorgeous slice of petty to mark one of the cheekiest televised acts of queer resistance ✨ #anitabryant | prints/tees: tinyurl.com/42pb9bny 🤟
For those of you too young to remember, Anita Bryant was the 1958 Miss Oklahoma beauty pageant winner, and a brand ambassador for the Florida Citrus Commission from 1969 to 1980, a pop singer with 3 hit songs, AND one of the most vocal and prominent anti-LGBTQ activists of the late 1970s. She ran a campaign to repeal a Miami-Dade County, Florida ordinance outlawing discrimination based on sexual orientation. LGBTQ activists and prominent figures in music, film, and television retaliated by boycotting orange juice she promoted, causing her to be blacklisted, contributing, ultimately, to her having to file for bankruptcy twice. On October 14, 1977, she repeatedly told a television audience that she "loves homosexuals, but hates their sin," resulting in her getting pied in the face by LGBTQ writer and activist, Thom L. Higgins.
In 1978, she promoted the Briggs Initiative in California, which would have gotten any public school teacher fired for making any pro-lgbtq statements. Interestingly, it was opposed not only by liberals, but by President Jimmy Carter, Governor Jerry Brown, former president Gerald Ford, as well as Ronald Reagan, resulting in its massive defeat at the polls.

The man who threw a pie in Anita Bryant's face

Excerpt: So progress is not a straight line, so to speak. And to say Bryant may have died but had success in the end, as if she and her ideology weren’t vanquished again and again, is incorrect. What Bryant teaches us, and what we should learn after her death and looking back, is that we can’t think we’ve ever won. The moment you think you’ve won, they’ll come back with the same tired arguments.

And a grand goodbye to Anita Bryant, noted anti LGBTQ+ bigot.
A reminder to live your life in such a way that people don't rejoice when you shuffle off this mortal coil...
@tek Homophobe Anita Bryan got pied by an LBGTQ activist in 1977. She remarked, "At least it was a fruit pie." Clever girl.🙄

Anita Bryant at least is defeated 🦀, she should rest in piss since she was a bigoted homophobic monster who caused a great amount of suffering to many.

Byyyeee!🍾🥂
Homophobic Christian activist Anita Bryant died of cancer on December 16 at the age of 84 in Edmonton, Oklahoma. Her anti-gay activism ended her singing career, bankrupted her, and famously compelled a gay activist to hit her in the face with a pie on live TV in 1977. Near the end of her life, she condemned her own granddaughter for being gay.
She led numerous anti-gay campaigns, calling homosexuals “human garbage”
#homophobia #anitabryant #lgbtq Anita Bryant departed this world, and it is a better place with her gone. I rarely rejoice in the passing of another human, but I’m not sure she was really human anyway. Her brand of hate was responsible for the deaths of some 700,000+ people, mostly LGBTQ people. Good riddance.
Ding dong bitch! Your passing couldn’t have come soon enough. You will not be missed 👋🏻

@CStamp Same comments sentiments when Pat Robertson, Margaret Thatcher ... died. All Reaganists, ironically 🤔
I hate to speak badly of people but in rare cases I make an exception: Bryant leaves a hugely toxic & damaging legacy.
I am currently (bedtime reading) plowing through the 1800pp tome Rick Perlstein's (2020) Reaganland

which in the early chapters had much to say about Bryant/anti-LGBTQ movement/era.

Décès d'Anita Bryant, miss Oklahoma, chanteuse de seconde zone et vendeuse de jus d'orange de Floride, surtout connue pour avoir été dans les années 70 une pasionaria homophobe (avec la campagne Save our children, abordé entre autres dans les Chroniques de San Francisco).
Elle est morte il y a presqu'un mois, et la famille ne l'annonce que maintenant. Elle voulait probablement organiser les funérailles tranquille.
Allez, une vidéo de son entartage :
