Craig Russell as Anita Bryant Amsterdam 1980

[medavog]

lol



[leftyla]

Where's the pie?

[popazz1]

"Everybody,join in",. . . . . yeah,for chrissakes,join in everybody,& drown out the tone-deaf bitch,lol.

[roccoh21]

Bryant is a sick, egomaniac who got what she deserved. She harmed many people with her hate speech but her ignorance also built a strong community committed to fair treatment. There is nothing Christian about her dangerous rhetoric.

[tayloraintsoswift]

If Craig Russell had followed the advice of Anita Bryant and left the "lifestyle" he may then still be with us today. He died of AIDS in 1990 at the tender age of 42. He was married, but identified as a gay man. Jesus does not offer hope, but leaving the lifestyle on one's own accord is possible. I have known many former GLBTIQQ people who are now straight.

[DrStrangebomb1993]

@tayloraintsoswift

You don't choose homosexuality. Nor do you choose heterosexuality. Open your dim eyes to that fact.

Jesus loves everybody, even homosexuals. So does god. Why would he create them otherwise? Just so that we have people to hate? Didn't think so.

[slickwillie1947]

Lots of INNOCENT chlidren died from AIDS. WHAT was their lifestyle ??? IGNORANT

[TwoCows23]

@tayloraintsoswift Bullshit. Your friends are in denial.

[sunfighter86]

@tayloraintsoswift So if leaving "the lifestyle" prevents HV infection, what can we do to avoid the other diseases that strike us like cancer or Alzheimers? What can we refrain from that will save us from those devastating diseases?

[roccoh21]

@tayloraintsoswift There is no such thing as a "Former Gay". Every association of mental health professionals denounces these charlatan therapies. And you have no right to make these defamatory, unsubtantiated remarks. Shame on you. Your words damage lives and harm families. As for your "Formerly gay" friends, you do not know what they do in private or if they are telling even themselves the truth.

[Reasonwillwin]

@tayloraintsoswift Yeah cause as we know , no christians has ever died at a young age. You sir are very stupid.

[ronnykmarshall]

@tayloraintsoswift - This Ex-Gay bullshit is just that BULLSHIT. But again you're a fan of Taylor Swift so that explains it.

[cjm608]

what a wonderful and missed entertainer. god he was good!

[lancetop]

homophobia is an extreme sickness. Anita Bryant is a championship homophobe.

[poosaypirate]

hey dont you have a foreign country to invade for oil or something ?

[poosaypirate]

oh shut up.

the church should be taxed and investigated for terrorism and outlawed  the end

[poosaypirate]

neither do old people are infertile people

that said if you STILL think homosexuality is "immoral" and should not allow them to marry, then why exactly are we allowing people who hav had premarital sex to marry? also immoral and an abomination in the bible

also people who eat shelfish should not marry (its in the bible) and what about Divorce? thats not supposed to be allowed either

you fail

[poosaypirate]

shes a homophobic kunt who ended her career with her crusade against butt sex in the sixties

ud think ppl would focus on poverty, famine and disease but oh no, not when we got butt sex

[ivriliderforever17]

mental illness? no ,hatred is mental illness

[ivriliderforever17]

no i heard she was the biggest cunt in the 70s by the way shes a washed up miserable hag

[ivriliderforever17]

so whos anita bryant?

[7XFM]

Anita Bryant was a singer in the 60's and 70's

She's also a devout Baptist Christian, an she campaigned and fought to end homosexuality by campaigning for laws that would make homosexuality illegal

[ivriliderforever17]

lol to end homosexuality waht the hell was her problem by the way i researched and her son is gay

[lou737]

Homosexual is a mental illness. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 1 This only proves it.

[Sharazual]

Actually, it was removed from that Manual, and Craig Russell is doing a piss-take of Anita Bryant, a notorious homophobe. She actually said most of these things. Therefore, if you are saying that what Craig says is inspired by mental sickness, then you are saying Anita herself had a few screws loose.

[poosaypirate]

the APA has Determined Extreme homophobia a form of mental illness look it up

[Sharazual]

Extreme homophobia as a mental illness? Strange. You'd think that half of Topeka, Kansas would have been committed by now.

[poosaypirate]

is that all you know how to do is make jokes?

you are diluting the strength of your own argument you fool

[Sharazual]

Sorry, I wasn't making a joke. Here's an outline of my basic belief - focus on love, not gender, and homophobia is caused by ignorance, not mental illness.

[poosaypirate]

focus on what i said,

Share your Beliefs with the American Psychological Association then the APA.

[rottingjebus]

What are you trying to imply here - that people from Topeka, Kansas aren't committed into mental institutions?

[dismith]

But do you believe it?

[poosaypirate]

Actually Lou the APA has determined Extreme homophobia a form of mental illness

it has also been scientifically documented and proven that the greater the extremity of that homophobia, the greater the propensity for dormant homosexual tendencies.

do not espouse false, old information

[lou737]

homophobia ? Are you still upset over the vote kicking gay marriage out in cali? Well the homo run a poor campain And you blame the voters.

[weissebier]

homosexual "culture" is totally parasitic.

[dismith]

Discuss.

[poosaypirate]

usually straight ppl follow gays paying special attention to Fashion were gays rock

[mgrella63]

i heard anita bryant came out of the closet years later not sure how true that is!

[skeletonmom]

Take off the bedsheet, honey!

[LittleMiss007]

Thank God for Anite Bryant. Because of her we can be free and open.

I'm getting a little gaydar on her though.. ;D

[hugdrummer]

JAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJJA ,para aguantarla hay ke fumar grass,jalar coca.tiza.ladrillo molido,yeso,etc,etc.

[hugdrummer]

hierba mala nunka muere

[MatrixBear]

no no, la mala hierba, no se fuma... pero hace falta fumarla, para aguantar a engendros como ésta. :)

[japnikki]

Craig Russell the person on here is still alive johnolrican, stop being sterotypical. he lives with his lover of 23 years in Scootsdale, AZ,

[donnydj76]

I'm a gay guy but I am sorry to tell you that Russell died of AIDS related complications in 1990. I am hiv negative and always will be because i don't do anything unsafe or stupid...

[japnikki]

I dont argee with you, str8 people are worse than gay people, am a 23F and str8 men are nastier pigs that gay men....i respect gay men and this clip was 30 years ago since then AIDS education has improved what sad is that HIV has dropped in Gays and incresed with str8's since 2004

[globalman]

just watching "Milk" and was reminded of this sick fucking woman. so googled her hoping she was dead of some torturous illness. but still alive. now i read these great messages and feel now that i hope she lives to 120, slowly rotting, suffering and tormented with all the pain that she caused thousands and tens of thousands of Homosexual men and woman until this day. Not until we end the fascist hold of religion in this country will she be defeated or will we be victorious.

[gretz13]

If you googled her well, she said later that she was sorry for her anti gay vieuws, That doesn't set her free, but she apoligised and still pays her dues to this day!!!!

[BiiiiGD]

She didn't apologise for her anti-gay views, she is still unrepentent about being homophobic. But she did apologise for her anti-feminist views when she divorced her husband, saying she understood how difficult it is to be trapped in an abusive relationship. That is why she was shunned from the christian right.

[CapricornDavo]

LOL Thats Hiliarous!!!!!!!!

[miuzefreak]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[mindrunfree]

Absolutely incredible! I love it.

[RoseFink]

Thanks for posting this gem. Craig Russell was the best, Anita Bryant... not so much.

[ParadiseBlue369]

Anita Bryant is a useless turd. Always was. Is she dead?

[swampzoid]

anita is still alive and now lives in oklahoma. she's in her 70's.

she is an evil hate hissing bitch.

[joopbeense]

Bravo to that wonderful statement!

Rainbow love to you, honey, from California.

I think what you meant to say was: "This is a WONDERFUL impersonation of a SHAMEFUL lady, played for ALL RIGHT THINKING PEOPLE" wasn't it?

[aidsgz]

we won =]

[aidsgz]

well actually no she isn't. and us gays are STILL laughing

many performing artists have stated that they will never take the stage with her.

she lost her florida citrus spokesman status after a successful boycott by the gay community.

she filed for bankruptcy twice, in arkansas (1997) and in tennessee (2001).

and all of her stage shows (like her one in branson, mo) closed down to lack of ticket sales.

being mocked in drag is one of our ultimate bitch slaps

serves her right, the shithead cunt

[dexterville]

God Bless Craig Russell!! He was a rare a jewel!

What a wit!...so smart, so "pee-your-pants" funny!

No one in their right mind would ever do Anita Bryant

in a Drag show....but he did it perfectly!

He is greatly missed.

[aidsgz]

WAHAHAHAHAH!!!

[musidorus]

Hmm, how odd. I'd say it's a wonderful impersonation of a shameful lady, played for a homosexual audience.

[IanToronto]

Sigh...

[CraigRussell4Ever]

Thank you!

[pompom11]

I almost forgot about her. Wow was it really 28 years ago?

[Lalo3001]

Lol!!! Pretty good impression.

[kenslavin1961]

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen!
