Let's talk about this sentence before we get all hot about it...okay? --[[User:Cracker|Cracker]]<sup>[[User_Talk:Cracker|talk]]</sup> 11:24, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
== Moved by her Christian faith ==
How did Anita Bryant's Christian faith motivate her to lobby for hateful laws? Form as [[Jesus]] said, "Love the Lord the God above all others, and love thy neighbor as thyself." This has always mystified me ... [[User:Boethius|Boethius]] 11:35, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
: You've been misled by the liberal media. Please read the facts and feel free to suggest any factual additions or modifications. No one disputes that Bryant was inspired by her Christian faith, and the claims of her "hate" were much exaggerated for political purposes. Her legislative efforts were affirmed by the public and the court system.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 11:50, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
:: Well, I don't feel misled -- I suppose I just have a different notion of what counts as "love" and "hate" -- if you love someone, you would probably not wish to drum up legislation which will reduce that person's rights in a democratic society. At any rate, if (as appears certain), Ms. Bryant indeed felt "moved by her Christian faith" to do something, then that can and should be stated as a fact, so I don't see any reason to modify that particular passage.

No one who '''''is''''' misled '''''feels''''' misled. The bible condemns homosexuality. If you love someone you would probably do all you can to get them to turn from their sin. And if you love your country you will likewise do all you can to prevent it from condoning sin. --[[User:BenjaminS|BenjaminS]] 14:02, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
:::Boethius, you seem to have assumed that laws opposing homosexual acts are "hateful". Is this correct? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 07:50, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
I suppose that's arguable Ed, but she supported discrimination against gays. I would argue that is hateful. [[User:Murray|Murray]] 14:15, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
: Folks, opposing special legal rights group is not "hate" and does not mean one supports discrimination against that group.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 21:35, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

== early? ==
In what sense was she an "early" opponent of homosexuality? History didn't begin in 1970. - [[User:Factcheck|Factcheck]] 18:20, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
The [[Homosexual Agenda]] is a fairly recent event, of which I believe it is fair to say that Bryant was an early opponent. I remember reading that she was also a segregationist - I would research this more but the article is currently locked so I won't be able to add anything until this changes. Is there any way a lock can be imposed only for non-registered users? [[User:ATB|ATB]] 21:13, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
: Gee, I don't know. Think maybe she was a member of the KKK? Really, that's ridiculous to try to smear someone because you disagree with her position on the homosexual agenda.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 21:37, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
I quite agree with her position on the homosexual agenda, and I apologize if you interpreted my comments in any other fashion. I was simply mentioning that it might be notable - especially on this socially conservative encyclopedia - to make note of her pro-white positions. Some preliminary research garnered a 70s article which stated that "in her interpretation of the Bible, Jews, Moslems, Pygmies and Eskimos are going to hell." This isn't Wikipedia; we can say what we want. [[User:ATB|ATB]] 23:02, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
