Anita Bryant married her childhood sweetie and is living very well. Her husband was a NASA test pilot so they are financially well off and she has been offered 6 million for movie rights to her life story. Plus Anita's campaign accomplished her objective as she won. Her campaign was called SAVE THE CHILDREN. Laws were passed and court cases have supported her mission in parochial schools. Exactly what she wanted. That is why parochial schools can hire and fire whomever they want no matter what the laws say for secular schools. Looks like Amy Coney Barrett is headed onto the Supreme Court. Anita is happy about her selection onto the court. She said her faith in God is stronger than ever.
Old fashioned family values??? Since then she has divorced her husband and cheated her employees. At one time divorce was looked on as a sin. Cheating people out of their salaries is not very christian if you ask me. She needs to take the log out of her own eye. Matthew 7:5 in the Bible.

I agree with you. The thing is, everybody who had love in their heart for people, and love for God, was mixed up when they read over & over in the Bible that homosexuality was an abomination. It really does say that, but what very few realize is that 'those who purchase children for sex' (or something close to that) was the original term, and 'homosexuals' was substituted in European bibles during or just after WWII.
When we were young we are conditioned to see one dimensional villains with evil grins, spewing malice and laughing maliciously in the world.

5:50 - They would literally burn a school down rather than allow a child to be taught by someone who was homosexual, wow - she really said that out loud. And they had the audacity to simultaneously try to disguise their bigotry as concern for children. What an absolute failure of a human being.
She really never was that successful as far as the top 40. Her four and only top 40 hits peaked at 5, 10, 18, and 30. That was it. She sings fine but obviously only does songs that are not technically difficult. In a very comfortable range for her, without difficult riffs or other demanding vocal techniques. Seems she only just did what was needed to make a record. Loads of people could do that.
She is the definition of pure unadulterated hatred, and the epitome of ignorance. She spewed so much evil from her mouth while fully believing she was representing love. She still to this day holds onto her hatred. Ugh, she makes me sick. This is the face of hatred.
It's more accurate to call it the face of prejudice against the gay lifestyle. Adoph Hitler was the true 'face of hatred', and in modern times that 'face of hatred' would belong to terrorists and warmongers. Putin comes to mind.
@@mainstreetsaint36 She was an American Imelda Marcos. She needed the closets for her wardrobe so that she could use her body like a prostitute to sell products.
As a gay man, I do not condone what she is saying about homosexuality. I was also a young man when this happened and it was a much different time back them, homosexuality wasn't really accepted mainstream back then, but we dealt with the haters. Again, I don't agree with her message, but she has every right to say what her religious beliefs are. She crossed the line when she tried to force her faith unto everybody else.
Now no one cares, which is why Leftists are pushing this new Trans movement which has Medical Doctors afraid that they will lose their job is they answer the question, "What is a Woman?" That and teaching young children CRT will be the two things that undo every stride that was made. They WANT people separated. A proud people who get along is a nightmare for those in charge.
The Bible lists so many sins, so many abominations. She cherry-picked the one she personally was against and made a crusade out of it. All the other sins were okay.
Anita DIDN'T "cherry-pick", the state of Florida made this an issue by placing perverts in public schools. Anita was more than justified in fighting back against that, for the sake of THE CHILDREN.
@@maestroofamore8948 ........The State of Florida also allowed Divorced teachers.......Divorce is a big sin in the Bible. Why didn't Anita have a big crusade against Divorced teachers???? Because she was cherry-picking!
@@djs2356 Dade county had passed legislation in 1977 establishing sexual deviants as a protected class. This wasn't a matter of merely "allowing" deviants to teach, but preventing them from being dismissed by force of law, effectively forcing them onto public school students, which the majority of Dade county resident voters immediately & overwhelmingly rejected. By contrast, divorcees were never a specially protected class; and obviously, divorcees aren't obliged to recruit people for homosexuality. Anita didn't "cherry-pick", she responded in the best interest of the children, to a recently-passed, immoral ordinance.
Many Christians are quite loving tho - at least in regards to their families, communities, and the like. Many charities are run by them, and some churches and other houses of worship do things like serve meals to the needy, and even offer beds to the homeless.
It's very curious to find out this story compared to how now the society came to recognize gays as normal, don't keep any remorse as is part of human nature to sometimes make mistakes, greetings
@@LuisDiuk Let me guess. You're straight. It's obvious. Why? Because it's clear that you never experienced what gay people went and still go through. Just bc some countries are gay-friendly doesn't mean all are. Also, homophobia still exists. It wasn't a mistake. She literally went against human rights. She lost almost everything and that's good. Should people just forget what she did, how hate crimes increased after her campaigns? People can hate on her or forgive her, it's not your place to be a moralist. And finally, it looks like you either don't understand or you're obtuse to the fact that if you hate or don't like someone you aren't thinking of them constantly or wishing them bad.
@@rkblue9452 So your point is... because of what she did, let's know take revenge? I have lots of gay friend, really fantastic people, it's only this new generation of gays who have a hate mindset when actually they on their 30s and 40s went through much discrimination than any of these youngsters of below 30. Your comment sounds to me like "i need to hate others", and what that means is turning the situation, and the law that the victim becomes the new bully comes true
@@LuisDiuk I'm just saying that you can't tell someone to hate or not to hate someone who did them bad. I even told that hating someone does not mean you wish them bad. The person you first replied to wasn't even saying they hate her or something, you just assumed they do. They only said that she created or helped keeping hate. Also, I said that karma already caught her. She got what she wished others to get(lost money, got hate, lost job and contracts). You can argue that is okay or not that this happened, but it already did, so I don't see why you think I want revenge towards her or any homophobes. I was stating a fact.

The most DANGEROUS people in the world are those who have repressed homosexuality in them and aren't aware of it like Bryant who is clearly extremely MAN-ISH. She hated the gay in herself and the only way to deal with it was to attack the thing that triggered those feelings. These people are dangerous.
I was in high school during that time, I remember, even here in conservative Texas, Anita Bryant became a laughing stock. Almost everyone thought she was full of shit.
@@AbeAlJ No, she was definitely a joke even in Texas. Times were changing, even in the Lone Star State and Texans tend to be slightly more liberal than, say, the Deep South. Trump did win here, but it was closer than many predicted.
@@malcolmmarshall5946 the part I'm having trouble with is describing her as "a joke." I don't understand what you mean there. Why would a conservative Christian population many of whom at that time were born in like the 1920's and 30's think what she was saying was so "out there" as to be ridiculed? She was literally representing the standard view that those people grew up with.
@@AbeAlJ Oh, well I was in high school, so yes, the older generation probably sided with her But I do remember my Republican parents laughing at "a former Miss Oklahoma saying God had said gays were evil sinners." Even in high school, the right wing kids (kicker cowboy types) laughed at Anita.

There's some bitter irony that Anita's career couldn't ultimately survive because of her own shunning by her beloved conservative Christian community due to her divorce. Still, even as a gay person, I have a touch of sympathy for her. I think she truly believed that we gays were out to recruit her children into our "web of sin" which was not an uncommon belief in that era. Heck, my non-religious Democrat-voting parents said it when I was growing up. She was misguided and misinformed and operating from a place of ignorance and fear; sadly so was most of America back then.
there is a nuanced mature-thinking person on the internet...who knew? I know what you mean. People now who are younger have no idea how severe "casual" homophobia was back then...Anita Bryant simply went on and on about it
There were plenty of people back then who weren't hateful or even homophobic. There were straight people who supported the gay rights cause. If they could break free of their conditioning then there's no excuse for being homophobic even if you grew up in that era. It's all about having empathy for other people. Some people have it, some people don't. Anita didn't, damn sociopath.
1 Corinthians 14:34,35 Women should remain silent in the church. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
1 Timothy 2:11,12,13 A woman should learn in quietness & full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
Meade Skelton Yes, she can preach at home to her children or to other woman during an Avon seminar or something. But not in any type of church setting, specifically in the media where you have millions of male viewers. That is so disgraceful to the church.
+Timelessmusic Familymusic You're only half right. Women do not have authority over a man in church, but that doesn't mean they can't speak up to ask questions or offer comments during a Bible study. And it certainly doesn't mean that they can't share the Gospel with those around them who are not saved. Neither men NOR women should hide their light under a bushel.
I remembered reading a book about Anita Bryant and I was so offended by what she stood for. She has been a descendant of today's religious right and I have NO RESPECT for people who impose their religious conservative views on a number of issues, including homosexuality. I am glad that Bryant is no longer in the public eye since.
Haven't decided what's uglier Anita Bryant or the people in the comments who agree with her. Then again if you think Christianity was never like radical Islam you haven't studied Christian history.
Far from a majority friend. They’re so few they’re practically irrelevant. Anyone working customer services learns quickly that there will always be a good 5-10% dumb assholes that are just 5-10x louder than your typical decent person. It’s good to remember they’re in the minority, and when put up to the light for all to see, people usually call bullshit. If these douches are capable of actually raising a few good points, fine, all power to them, even a stopped clock is right a few times a day, and you want arguments that make people think, it’s a sign you’re doing actual discussing of their real core beliefs and philosophy, but ultimately time will age them like milk.
The government should not discriminate, but it should not force such a rule on private companies and individuals because it violates the property rights and freedom of association rights. It also violates the religios liberty of them as well. You dont have to be anti gay to understand this.
Wow she actually said that gay people could keep their jobs and houses as long as they lie about being gay! So a "Christian" is directly disobeying the Ten Commandments and telling people they should lie. How does that even make sense anyway? If she was so worried gay people were really sinister and would try to secretly influence children, wouldn't they just pretend they weren't gay anyway?
Is there anyone out there who knows what channel this aired on? Was this from one of the big three; ABC, NBC, or CBS, or from a local station? If anyone knows or was alive when this aired and remembers it, I would like to know. Also, who is that TV anchor? I like her.
Victimspeak. It's how they handle cognitive dissonance. It's how they convince themselves there being righteous while pushing others around. Reactionaries need to feel oppressed, somehow
I love Anita, she gave gay people the voice they needed by way of her sad misdirection. She did more for gay rights than did all pride parades from New York to Paris to Sydney and back again. Love you Anita!
Hey, I'm writing a paper on the effect Bryant had on the gay rights movement and would like to use this clip as a source. Do you have any information on when it aired and on what channel? Thanks
10:23 is the part about how Anita is rallying the community like no one else could (not in the way she intended). He could have added that she got Armistead Maupin to come out to his parents!
She's been proven to be correct. If we would've listened to her perhaps we wouldn't be giving puberty blockers to children and telling them that gender is "fluid".
Can you name me any court cases or convictions of drag queens found to have groomed children? Because I could name cases forever of heterosexuals convicted of grooming and raping children and I can start with the Catholic Church.

The description of homosexuality as a lifestyle is a blatent oversimplification of human sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular. Such indoctrination of the collective societal psyche is paramount to the self validating delusion of heterosexuality possessing moral validity. The reason that we never hear the term " heterosexual lifestyle" is because there is no need to catogorize heterosexuality with such inherent connotative oversimplification in order to subconciously justify contempt and hatred through subjective comparison. ( and the haters blinked).
"Whether you believe in it or not, why should our civil rights be taken away..." Because whether YOU believe it or not, You don't get to enforce your beliefs as fact and doctren to the world.
There are ways that seem right to a man but the end thereof is death. Proverbs 14: 12-16. Ask Rock Hudson. She was only following the laws of God, the Almighty ...therefore she was right all along.🙏
If she doesn't agree with homosexuality, fine, but why take it so far? She could of some how taught her children how she felt about it without demonizing gays. She probably made things worse for herself.
She did more for gay rights than any march or protest ever did. Gays and heteros alike were repulsed by her bigotry and hate-filled crusade. Worst of all, it was in the name of Jesus, as if she alone had a one-way line to communicate and then share the Lord's wishes. Karma sure is a bitch, Anita. You got what you deserved. Now, was your husband forgiven for his adultery and was your son forgiven for turning out to be a big old homosexual?
I was 15 years old in 1977 and i sure don't recall Anita Bryant being a '' pop '' star on any level. I musta missed her appearances on American Bandstand...😂🙉🙊🙈
She's not dead. She's still alive and kicking. Well she's alive but she sure as hell ain't doing much kicking anymore. No one wants to hear a damn thing she has to say. And I'm so glad she was fired from her job. She must have needed lots of orange juice to swallow down such a huge dose of her own medicine; cause I bet that was a helluva a hard ass pill to swallow. Must have made her sick. I guess Anita was unaware that hatred and orange juice just dont mix too well together. She was ordered to stay away from the Florida Sunshine tree cause her hatred was poisoning the fruit. Now go eat your fruit pie Anita. Eat it all up you hideous evil bitch.

Same difference, when a "gay" marriage ends these gays will go and try to get a new mate. Only this time the target will be men not women. Even the book of Romans speaks against homosexuality with a certainty not theoretically.

When she started singing I thought, "Who would pay hard cash to buy one of her albums?" She ain't no Streisand.
You ain't lying!!!
She really never was that successful as far as the top 40. Her four and only top 40 hits peaked at 5, 10, 18, and 30. That was it. She sings fine but obviously only does songs that are not technically difficult. In a very comfortable range for her, without difficult riffs or other demanding vocal techniques. Seems she only just did what was needed to make a record. Loads of people could do that.
It doesn't say much for her singing that she failed to make a comeback in Branson, Missouri.
the first song she sang she was entirely flat until the last note
Who'd pay hard cash for one of her albums, that's easy to answer! The tone deaf!
She is the definition of pure unadulterated hatred, and the epitome of ignorance. She spewed so much evil from her mouth while fully believing she was representing love. She still to this day holds onto her hatred. Ugh, she makes me sick. This is the face of hatred.
It's more accurate to call it the face of prejudice against the gay lifestyle. Adoph Hitler was the true 'face of hatred', and in modern times that 'face of hatred' would belong to terrorists and warmongers. Putin comes to mind.

This wasn't a matter of merely "allowing" deviants to teach, but preventing them from being dismissed by force of law, effectively forcing them onto public school students, which the majority of Dade county resident voters immediately & overwhelmingly rejected.
By contrast, divorcees were never a specially protected class; and obviously, divorcees aren't obliged to recruit people for homosexuality. Anita didn't "cherry-pick", she responded in the best interest of the children, to a recently-passed, immoral ordinance.

The most DANGEROUS people in the world are those who have repressed homosexuality in them and aren't aware of it like Bryant who is clearly extremely MAN-ISH. She hated the gay in herself and the only way to deal with it was to attack the thing that triggered those feelings. These people are dangerous.
Her granddaughter is a lesbian apparently and it's my belief that homosexuality runs in families.
She was afraid hubby would get BJ's from them

There's some bitter irony that Anita's career couldn't ultimately survive because of her own shunning by her beloved conservative Christian community due to her divorce. Still, even as a gay person, I have a touch of sympathy for her. I think she truly believed that we gays were out to recruit her children into our "web of sin" which was not an uncommon belief in that era. Heck, my non-religious Democrat-voting parents said it when I was growing up. She was misguided and misinformed and operating from a place of ignorance and fear; sadly so was most of America back then.
there is a nuanced mature-thinking person on the internet...who knew? I know what you mean. People now who are younger have no idea how severe "casual" homophobia was back then...Anita Bryant simply went on and on about it
There were plenty of people back then who weren't hateful or even homophobic. There were straight people who supported the gay rights cause. If they could break free of their conditioning then there's no excuse for being homophobic even if you grew up in that era. It's all about having empathy for other people. Some people have it, some people don't. Anita didn't, damn sociopath.

*"But from the beginning of creation God made them MALE & FEMALE. For this cause shall a MAN leave HIS father & mother AND CLEAVE TO HIS WIFE" ~Jesus (Mark 10:6-7)*
*"But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, ADULTERIES, FORNICATION, thefts, false witness, blasphemies; these are the things which defile a man" ~Jesus (Matt. **15:18**-20)*

This kind of sadistic hatred ginned up by phony hypocrites got this woman killed.
She died a long time ago.
She's not dead. She's still alive and kicking. Well she's alive but she sure as hell ain't doing much kicking anymore. No one wants to hear a damn thing she has to say. And I'm so glad she was fired from her job. She must have needed lots of orange juice to swallow down such a huge dose of her own medicine; cause I bet that was a helluva a hard ass pill to swallow. Must have made her sick. I guess Anita was unaware that hatred and orange juice just dont mix too well together. She was ordered to stay away from the Florida Sunshine tree cause her hatred was poisoning the fruit. Now go eat your fruit pie Anita. Eat it all up you hideous evil bitch.
She’s still alive
@@bicuriousdirtbikeboi2594 She was killed
Facyoid: her relative was Nicole Brown Simpson.
You're an idiot,@@sunspotdawn1261. Anita remains alive & well.

Ruth shak..at 3:00a hero!
she not dead yet?
Life expectancy in America is like 80 years now. Unless you have bad genes, heavy smoker or drinker, overweight, or a heavily stressed personality, you might make it past that age
+Smorf Hound, you're right. we do need her back. when same sex marriage became okayed in 2015, I mean, in a most likely scenario, just like a heterosexual marriage has divorces when incompatibility sets in,they divorce then remarry. Same difference, when a "gay" marriage ends these gays will go and try to get a new mate. Only this time the target will be men not women. Even the book of Romans speaks against homosexuality with a certainty not theoretically.
if you hate gay marriage and think gay sex is an abomination stop having it. then go fuck off
You are a stupid ass moron, almost as ignorant as Anita Bryant!
2 wrongs dont make a right, a preacher was gonna burn the school?
Praise Jesus
The "Wer-da-GAW-ud" also says that shrimp, polyester and divorce are an abomination, too.
I might be mistaken, but wasn't her husband a closet case?
