In this episode, I talk about Anita Bryant getting a pie in her face on October 14, 1977. I'm driving (the phone was appropriately placed, and I was talking as though you were in the car). Listener discretion is advised.
As a gay Roman Catholic kid in the 1980's, I was never angry at my church, or my God, but I could see the vitriol of people like Anita Bryant who appeared on countless television programs, spreading misinformation, bigotry, and hate. I imagined that in the future, we would continue to progress and move forward, following truth and scientific consensus, logic and reason, but instead, in 2022, it feels like we have taken a giant leap 50 years back.
Today's kids deserve better than to hear hateful, hurtful rhetoric by the likes of those who want to impose their personal ideologies on civil society. I share my stories so that a unique perspective might better explain how ALL of us on the side of GOOD can be as ONE.
I am a Secular Humanist, and I have friends of many faiths. The thread that ties each of our individual lives is love and it holds together the fabric of humanity.
