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.

[yeahiwasintheshit]

40 years on and it still is gratifying

[howdoyoulikethemeggrolls]

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.

Mustafar vs. Endor: Obi-Wan & Luke’s Love for Anakin

I know we all love the parallel between Padme and Luke’s recognition of the goodness within Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker, but while listening to the latest episode of the @mostthingskenobi podcast, it occurred to me that there are similar parallels between Obi-Wan and Luke. They’re both asked to kill Anakin for the greater good, but in the end, both love him too much to kill him. Granted, Obi-Wan’s feelings toward Anakin are more complicated than the pure hearted empathy and compassion Luke has for this father; at that moment, it’s clear that Obi-Wan almost views Anakin as already dead, as if Darth Vader is merely a shell stripped of the humanity and goodness that was his friend. But I believe that his love for Anakin is so strong in that moment that he can’t bear to strike down Anakin’s empty shell, just as Luke can’t bring himself to kill his own father because of his love for him. I would even go as far as to argue that in the same way that Luke’s love for his father is what leads him to ultimately lay down his weapon and refuse to kill Vader, Obi-Wan’s love for the good man that was Anakin Skywalker is what motivates him to take up Anakin’s lightsaber.

Hopefully we’ll see how that love might have inspired Obi-Wan to make a last-ditch effort to redeem Anakin in the Kenobi series, but we’ll have to wait and see!
