Anita Bryant

Anita Bryant is a former American singer and beauty queen who gained notoriety in the late 1970s for her vocal opposition to LGBTQ+ rights, particularly during her campaign against the repeal of a gay rights ordinance in Miami. Her activism was marked by the slogan 'Save Our Children,' which framed the fight against LGBTQ+ rights as a moral crusade to protect children from perceived dangers of homosexuality. This stance led to widespread protests and backlash, ultimately making her a controversial figure in the history of LGBTQ+ activism.
