October 14, 1977, Anita Bryant is pied for her antigay bigotry at a press conference in Des Moines, IA.

It was 40 years ago today…

Never gets old.

40 years on and it still is gratifying

Anita’s still alive and kicking and being anti-gay. Thom Higgins, who threw the pie when he was 27 – and was poetically from Beaver Dam – passed away 17 years later at 44. Info on his life is here. The pie throwing was a big deal. In an age before the internet let gays feel connected, and long before ACT UP, the pie showed small pockets of gays that we could fight back.

it showed that gays were human beings, who might be in the room with you, that you had been accepting as being equals and treating as people. you didnt suspect them as bieng gay, why should you treat them different after? do they become less human after finding out? i mean, its almost like you just found out they have an oppinion on your bullshit

happy pride, y’all. 

Happy 45th Anniversary of Anita Bryant getting a pie in the face.

pretending to like aaron hotchner in a “oh yeah he’s pretty cool” kind of way rather than a “i would crawl through the desert, walk over hot coals, sell my soul to the devil to make him real” kind of way is tiring huh

Another favourite whump trope; team that decides to check up on whumpee who doesn't pick up their calls, only to discover a broken door, a trashed up apartment and blood on the floor.
