Orange Juice, Anita Bryant And The Queer Revolution<\/b><\/p>\n

\"anita\"<\/p>\n

You owe it to yourself to take some time out of your day and learn about the dark, weird, juicy backstory of Anita Bryant. <\/a>History-minded queers probably already know the broad strokes: she was a model and singer of some kind, and eventually an orange juice spokesmodel, and then an anti-gay<\/a> activist at a time when you could still do that sort of thing.<\/p>\n

Today, she’s a punch line — but a poetic article on Extra Crispy<\/a> dives deep into her strange life.<\/p>\n

Anita rose to fame in the 60s, first as a good-but-not-great pop singer and then as the voice of Florida’s Citrus Commission. She seemed wholesome and nice, just the sort of thing you’d want associated with a breakfast drink. There was a bit of an orange juice craze in those days — like milk during the depression, people thought of it as a sort of superbeverage crammed with important nutrition.<\/p>\n

At the same time, LGBTs were demanding rights and equality; and for a few moments it seemed like we might actually be successful. There wasn’t much organized resistance to gay<\/a> liberation in the 1970s, so when queers and allies got a little political power they were able to enact some protections. (This is why gay couples were able to marry, briefly, in the 1970s.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

But even though America didn’t have an anti-gay<\/a> infrastructure yet, it did have a prevailing cultural prejudice, and it didn’t take much effort to whip citizens up into a panic about perverts. Anita Bryant capitalized on the ignorance of the time, attacking LGBTs as sick and dangerous. That touched off a massive gay<\/a> boycott of orange juice. One one side you had civil rights activists of the time, including Harvey Milk; on the other, you had figures like Anita and Jerry Falwell (whose disgusting son just endorsed Donald Trump<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The whole thing may have backfired, though. Anita gave the gay<\/a> community an opportunity to speak up and fight back, and a population that used to be quiet and avoidant became electrified with new activism.<\/p>\n

Anita’s still alive, though she’s never apologized or expressed regret. Reflecting back on the impact she’s had and her lingering, now-funny legacy, it must be hard not to feel like a waste of a life.<\/p>\n
