Glad to read the article talks about her opposition to gay rights. I hope one day your editors understand that calling gay men "queer" or members of the "LGBTQIA+ community" is right up there with Latinx and BIPOC.

She did inspire so many folks to gay rights activism. which is why I suppose they waited until January 9 2025 to announce a death that took place Dec 16th 2024. So many would of showed with pies loaded had they known.

Florida orange juice queen sabotages career by claiming to “save the children.” It’s a straight line to the Trans hate of today. Only one person killed her career, and it wasn’t her target.

I remember her commercials. Th She used her celebrity to convince audiences that Gays were after their children. What was sort of a non issue about anti-discrimination suddenly became a national conversation. Anita Bryant was a divisive personality and seemed to enjoy it.

You might have remembered her orange juice commercials...? I didn't realize she was still alive in 2024. She was the epitome of shrill and bigoted. Kind of an uberKaren freaking out on lgbtq people publically and frequently through the 70's.
