TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY

NETWORK NEWS - 6/8/1977, All major networks

The Religious Right's first big victory in its crusade against "gay rights": This week in 1977, Miami voters repealed a law that had banned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Singer Anita Bryant had railed against the law, claiming "homosexual" teachers were a threat to children. She even called her organization Save Our Children. After this local victory, she would take her campaign national, supporting attempts to strike down similar antidiscrimination laws and encourage or require schools to fire LGB and LGB-friendly teachers.

Of course, it's really just recycling the same age-old #SaveOurChildren scapegoating pretext for state-sanctioned bigotry peddled by #ChristianNationalists like #AnitaBryant forty years ago.

NEWS - 6/6/1977

Florida was Ground Zero for anti-queer activism in the late 1970s, much as it is now.

Today in 1977, the top story on most American national TV newscasts: A Miami referendum on whether to reallow discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in jobs, housing and public accommodations. The main crusader for this change was singer Anita Bryant, who ultimately destroyed her own career with a years-long national campaign to fire queer schoolteachers and any teachers who supported queer people's rights, even if they did so on their own time.

Here's the PBS news coverage from that date, from the show that was later retitled the NEWS HOUR: https://americanarchive.org/catalog/cpb-aacip_507-qn5z60ct7w

Attacks on gay people did not begin with Anita Bryant's attacks on gay people in the 1970s. The violence and hatred is extensive. This is a video you may or may not be familiar with. I don't condone it. And...Anita Bryant is the hate that hate produced. https://bit.ly/3WFKOKw #Mastodon #BlackMastodon #AnitaBryant #usa

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/20/disney-desantis-fight-new-phase.html Told y’all so.

“Disney’s next move will be the announcement that no more money will be invested in Florida because of the Governor - In fact, they could even announce a slow withdrawal or sale of certain properties, or the whole thing…”

Stay tuned for the return of #AnitaBryant she bombed in Branson, let her have Florida back. No doubt she will be at the ribbon cutting of the Abortion House of Horrors ride. 😂 😝

I think #disney has something up its sleeve. #Florida is going out of it’s way kick Disney out. It just might happen. Disney should turn over the Florida park to right wingers to open up the #anitabryant park on a smaller scale.
