The cast of Glee had a mini reunion to support the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, and one of the show's stars Heather Morris honored her late costar Naya Rivera with the perfect strike sign.
Morris posted photos of the cast's march in solidarity on Instagram, and many fans noticed almost immediately that her sign featured a scene from the hit TV series in which Rivera's character Santana delivered the unforgettable line:
"The only straight I am is straight up b*tch."
Morris altered the quote a bit so that her sign read:
"The only straight I am is straight up broke."
You can see her post below, which she captioned:
"God these humans."
"We marched in solidarity’s with the @sagaftra and @wgastrikeunite @wgawest @wgaeast"
Rivera died in 2020 in what was ruled to be an accidental drowning on Lake Piru in Ventura County, California.
She disappeared while boating with her son Josey and was reported missing. Her son was found asleep on a rental pontoon boat where the two had been swimming, and Rivera's body was recovered from the lake five days later.
Fans of Rivera loved Morris' nod to her late costar.
Their castmate Dianna Agron, who was not in attendance, commented with hearts.

The rest of the reunion included costars Kevin McHale (Artie Abrams), Darren Criss (Blaine Anderson), Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina Cohen-Chang), Dot-Marie Jones (Coach Beiste), Becca Tobin (Kitty Wilde), Iqbal Theba (Principal Figgins), Vanessa Lengies (Sugar Motta), Max Adler (Dave Karofsky), Jacob Artist (Jake Puckerman), Mike O’Malley (Burt Hummel), Josh Sussman (Jacob Ben Israel), Romy Rosemont (Carole Hudson) and series co-creator Brad Falchuk.
McHale and Ushkowitz also shared photos of "Glee day on the picket line."
Ushkowitz used her own character's quote on her strike sign, changing Tina's line from, "I'm dehydrated from all the crying," to:
"I'm dehydrated from all the striking."
Nicely done, all 👏👏👏
