Talk:Anita Bryant
Let's talk about this sentence before we get all hot about it...okay? --Crackertalk 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 ... 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.--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.

- Boethius, you seem to have assumed that laws opposing homosexual acts are "hateful". Is this correct? --Ed Poor 07:50, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

Hatred is bad
Why would you spotlight a homophobe?-AmesGyo! 13:05, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
"Four self-proclaimed homosexuals slapped Bryant with a pie in her face during a speaking event in Des Moines, Iowa." Could someone please add a possible date to this assault? From the article it sounds like it happened last week, not 30 years ago. -- Crackertalk 13:08, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
- And why do we even care about her? She sounds like a bigot, not a conservative.-AmesGyo! 13:09, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
