Homosexuals continue to attempt to discredit Anita Bryant as part of an effort in Florida to repeal the law against adoption by homosexual couples. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported that on March 25, 2007 a "meeting, organized by local, state and national gay advocacy groups, was held to discuss a proposal in Tallahassee to repeal Florida's 30-year-old ban on gay adoption. Organizers said the ban is a remnant of former beauty queen and orange juice spokeswoman Anita Bryant's anti-gay crusade of the 1970s."<ref>Elizabeth Baier, "Gay adoption of kids advocated at church: Gathering held to discuss state bill to repeal ban," South Florida Sun-Sentinel (Fort Lauderdale) (Mar. 26, 2007)</ref>
