Anita Bryant, the former Miss Oklahoma and Grammy-nominated singer, is remembered for her successful career and later, outspoken opposition to gay rights during the 1970s.
Bryant's campaigns in the late 1970s, particularly against a Miami-Dade County ordinance prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation, marked a dramatic shift in her public persona.
She gained national recognition not just for her music and ad campaigns, but also for leading 'Save Our Children,' a coalition opposing gay rights and promoting conservative values.
Her legacy is one of contrast; celebrated as a talented performer, yet later associated with a controversial stance that sought to repeal protections for the LGBTQ+ community.
