Gay USA 1/15/2025 | The Passing of Anti-Gay Leader Anita Bryant


Hey folks! I just found this website. 

Oh how I remember Anita Bryant. Yes, I was a fan of hers until she came out against my very existence. 

Bye, bye Anita.

Yes, I recall her well too. She was well-known in our gay spheres over here at the time which you refer to, giving Florida a bad name.

Ooops , a fan of hers once ?
She was enough to start the " Miami Nightmare " in Holland , a night with performances to collect money for a full page add against her in the NY Times . And with succes !
Look it up under : Miami Nightmare 1977 .

Not really a "fan." I just remember I liked her when she was runner-up to one of the Miss American contests in the 50's. She did the orange juice commercials.
