    Ep: 90 - Confession: The Clash of Anita Bryant, a Pie, Gay Rights, and the Moral Majority

    Welcome to our limited series, Confession. In the late 1970s, America witnessed a dramatic clash between the rise of the LGBTQ+ rights movement and the surge of religious conservatism led by figures like Anita Bryant and Jerry Falwell. Bryant, a celebrated orange juice spokeswoman turned anti-gay crusader, launched the infamous “Save Our Children” campaign, arguing that LGBTQ+ rights endangered traditional family values. Her rhetoric galvanized the Moral Majority, co-founded by Falwell, which rallied religious conservatives into a political force that would reshape American politics. However, this wave of opposition ignited a powerful response from activists like Thomas Higgins, a fearless advocate who not only coined the term "Gay Pride" but also famously protested Bryant by pieing her in the face, making headlines nationwide.
