And don't forget, Miss Ohio USA: Halle Berry. She was in fact runner-up in the Miss USA pageant.
But back on topic. Anita Bryant was a clueless bitch and I do wonder if she truly regrets her tirades and her campaign against gays back then. Whatever the case, she's a nobody now. It's true folks, if you get any kind of celebrity spotlightNEVEREVER bash the gays. We might not be prominent on the screen but we definitely work behind the scenes and we ARE your audience. Bash us and you'll get no where fast.

Anita Bryant is living a long and happy life.
Unlike most Homosexual men, who numb themselves with drugs and alcohol and often don't live to see their 50th birthday.
Ah yes. But it's the
homosexuals
who are intolerant not you. I mean, I have it on your own authority that you don't
generalize
.
Right?
I am the sod-off shotgun. -

"Anita Bryant is living a long and happy life."
She's only in her early 70's. By today's standards that's not terribly long.
If by happy, you obviously are unaware of her divorce, multiple bankrupcies, and nervous breakdown.
"Unlike most Homosexual men, who numb themselves with drugs and alcohol and often don't live to see their 50th birthday."
And you base this on absolutely nothing other then your personal bigotry.
Yes many gay men do those things, but it's largely due to trying to cope with rejection from family, friends, and society.
As for dying before 50, you do understand how high the suicide rates are for glbt persons I hope. Again, it's for the same reasons. -

Did anyone else notice that she says the "normal majority" instead. I thought she was probably talking about Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority, but I'm not sure if they were around then.
