Anita Bryant
I was thinking about the fact that whenever a group of people gets "beat up on" verbally, by someone famous in America, they usually come out stronger and with more influence and rights than they had before the attacks against them.
In the 1970s and / or '80s, it was Anita Bryant attacking gay people; in recent years, it's been donald trump, bitching that Hispanic people - exist.
Anita Bryant. Who was that?
She was a brunette winner of miscellaneous beauty pageants.
She could sing.
And she did commercials for orange juice. She would come on camera and say, "A day without orange juice is like a day without sunshine" ... or -,,. something like that. ...
And then in the late 1970s or early 1980s she started yelling that gay people should not exist, and then gay men (and probably some lesbian women) stepped up and said,"No, and - Excuse me! - and No, I don't think so...."
And now they have the right to marry, which they did not have, then.
It's kind of similar to now, after Trump whined that Hispanic people exist, they are totally speaking up about how they are contributing to this country.
In 2020 when Jennifer Lopez was in the Halftime Show, she said we're speaking out against putting children in cages at the border.
She spoke out about that because a famous politician was attacking the Spanish-speaking people in America.
Anita Bryant and - Donald trump - attack, and then people stand up for themselves, and - it goes the other way....
