How 1970s Christian crusader Anita Bryant helped spawn Florida's LGBTQ culture war
Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law, dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by critics, is part of a long legacy of anti-gay rhetoric and legislation in the state….
…At a public hearing in Dade County, Florida, parents were enraged. The nation, they said, was in peril and children were at risk. A recent ordinance had granted gay people housing and employment protections, and that meant teachers couldn’t be fired because of their sexuality. Florida classrooms quickly became a battleground, and opponents of the ordinance said the state’s support of civil rights for homosexuals was infringing on their rights as parents. (NBC News)
Read closely, PLEASE, and perhaps the few seconds after reading the above, you might shake your head and say out loud to no one but the walls, 2022, is a fucked-up year…but you would be wrong because these headlines were from the year was 1977.
FLORIDA has NOT truly morphed forward, but like the dank stale rank water in a toilet located in a deserted Gas Station on an abandoned exit off of Route 66, FLORIDA has just grown more toxic, rancid, and poisonous. Some good people have retired or moved to FLORIDA, but even with their relocation, their numbers are not great enough to surpass the INSECURE, SELF-LOATHING, PROUDLY BIGOTED AND RACIST lemmings who know they are losers but DESIRE to find anyone in which they can feel superior. History is a lesson, but way too many LOSERS cannot read!
