Karma came back hard for a homophobic grandmother while seated at holiday dinner when a gay guest saved her life.

Lizzy Bristow—TikToker @bodybydaddy/LGBTQ FITNESS—told the tale on TikTok.


Dana, the 91-year-old grandmother Bristow saved, struggled to swallow some steak during the meal.

Seeing Dana was choking when she began to turn blue, Bristow acted quickly.

The longest 5 minutes of my life #christmas2021 #grandma #cpr


Bristow tried dislodging the food with the Heimlich maneuver, but her partner's grandmother passed out.

That's when Bristow began CPR.

“An hour before this, this woman had just asked me if I was the boy,” Bristow said.

“Now I’m over here, giving her compressions, probably breaking her ribs.”

Eventually, the steak was dislodged, and the grandma came to.

Bristow said it took nearly 2 minutes of work, followed by the "longest 5 minutes" of her life afterward.

“I felt like I won the Superbowl,” Bristow said, of the elderly woman coming back to life.

But:

“I never want to do that again. Everyone get CPR certified.”

In a follow-up video, Bristow revealed her CPR attempt was unsuccessful at sparing grandma's ribs, but she is in the hospital for treatment.

"Apparently I broke every single one of her ribs," Bristow noted.

But one follower commented:

"You saved Grandma and Christmas. What's a few broken ribs between friends?"

Grandma Dana is on the road to a full recovery.

She was unaware Bristow was her savior until she was told at the hospital.

Whether it changed her opinion of her granddaughter's partner remains to be seen.

Pope Leo's Brother Sparks Outrage Over Vile Posts About Nancy Pelosi And Parents Of Trans Kids

The brother of Robert Prevost, a Chicago-born Roman Catholic Augustine cleric who last week became the newly-elected Pope Leo XIV, is facing heated criticism after some of his older Facebook posts resurfaced and revealed that he'd shared a video calling Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi a "drunk c**nt" as well as a transphobic meme about transgender children.

For instance, in an April 23 post, Prevost claimed that former President Obama desired “the total destruction of our way of life” and aimed to turn the U.S. into a dictatorship, adding that it would be “a racist one on top of it.” He had previously pushed a conspiracy theory alleging that “OBAMA WAS A CIA ASSET, PUT IN PLACE TO DESTROY THE USA.”

The letter marked the latest step in President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
