Anita Bryant: The Gays vs Orange Juice Jul 28, 2020

Show notes

Episode contains homophobic slurs.

Well at least it’s a fruit pie. The original poor innocent cancelled free speech warrior Anita Bryant, the movement, and the myth. The story of how a hateful bigot galvanized two opposite movements and gay people stopped drinking orange juice.

There will be a one week break between episodes to put together some fascinating new projects.

The deeply hidden history of that one time the US government rounded up all the promiscuous women and forced them into quarantine camps. If you patriotutes needed one more reason to feel weird about celebrating the fourth of July you found it. Stalking, profiling, bad science, and most importantly, resistance.

With special guest, comedian, and country club girl Camille Roane.
