On #ThisDayInHistory in 1977, Christian bigot and anti-LGBT campaigner #AnitaBryant got a pie to the face during an appearance. Folding hate and judgement into Christian messaging is a betrayal of the Gospels. Actual love involves acceptance, not condemnation.

Pop art-style illustration of Anita Bryant mid-shock as a cream pie hits her in the face. Her hair is styled in a vintage blowout, with splatters of cream across her heavily made-up face. The piece is vibrant and camp, featuring sparkles, retro colouring, and the bold text: โBE GAY, CREAM PIE A BIGOT.โ It references the real-life 1977 televised protest where a gay rights activist pied Bryant in response to her anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

#JohnBriggs thought he had the perfect plan. Fresh off #AnitaBryant and her "Save Our Children" crusade in Florida, he figured California would be easy pickings. He was dead fucking wrong. On November 7, 1978, California voters obliterated it. #queer #history

I recall a #Hulu docuseries on #Pride (by the decade, it was awesome) that covered some sort of โfuck you, Anitaโ song that theyโd sing at some protests back in the day, haha
#AnitaBryant
Well-earned spot in hell for that one
It must be deeply exhausting
Living a life terrified that you may get โthe gayโ on you
#AnitaBryant is rotting in hell, Iโm sure
For #Zoomers, #Wikipedia lists #AnitaBryant as, 'An American singer and #Christian activist against #gayrights,' and I'm not sure they got the order right.
She only died LAST YEAR, btw. Wayyyyy too late.

#AnitaBryant was right

#NancyMace is this generationโs #AnitaBryant. And for those who donโt know who Anita is- look her up. Her opinions didnโt age well and neither will Nancyโs.
Failed orange juice spokesperson and famous homophobe Anita Bryant gets pied in the face by gay rights activist Tom Higgins to protest her calls for anti-gay discrimination. October 14, 1977.
What would go into a hypothetical #NancyMace cocktail a la #AnitaBryant? Every $ should go to transition funds. Unfortunately, thereโs not much fruity inspiration from twice-divorced Maceโs sad, weird life
When asked โtrueโ or โfalseโ if Anita Bryant recanted her anti-gay stance on โHollywood Squaresโ, Paul Lynde said โtrueโ, because otherwise she couldnโt get anyone to do her hair or make up. #PaulLynde #anitabryant
