Not devotion so much as harrassment
During the height of the Anita Bryant-OJ scandal...
For non- Americans, this was about the mid '70's and AB campaigned to strike down a pro-gay statute in Florida. Gay people were then specifically denied the right to: adopt children, be protected from losing their jobs because of their sexual orientation and lost other protections. She got this passed in several cities, but the backlash caused her to lose her job. She sank into camp retro and went right down the toilet.

So anyway, a couple years afterward we saw she was headlining a sleazy dinner theatre near us. A big gang of drag queens, flaming Friends of Dorothy and I went to see her. We applauded, cheered, whistled like mad. She was tickled pink, that is


UNTIL....


she came up to us after the show to "meet her fans" and realized exactly who these beautifully dressed men and "women" were. You could hear the quotation marks in her voice when she said the word 'ladies'. The guys fawned over her to her increasingly obvious discomfort and finally asked for her autograph. Clearly she didn't want to, but couldn't figure a way out of it fast enough.

Big Rhett (who was wearing my clothes better than I could frowny face)squeed over her like a fangrrl and gave her a big wet smoochy kiss for the autograph, whereupon everyone else did, too.
We left clutching valuable autographs in our hot little hands, leaving her covered in about 12 different shades of gaudy lipgloss and fuming.

We had so much fun!!
