Save Our Children! was the battle cry of the anti-gay rights movement, led by the vocal Anita Bryant. After defeating a Gay Rights ordinance in Dade County, Florida, she decided to bring her campaign nation- wide in a widely publicized appeal to the parents of school children. Opposition to her was organized almost immediately, with con- tributions coming from several organiza- tions. Her opponents claimed that Miss Bryant was trying to violate their constitutional rights. Miss Bryant, however, claims that she is only trying to save the young school chil- dren from the influences of homosexual teachers. Additionally, she is setting up re- habilitation centers for those who wish to be cured . Miss Bryant survived attacks of all kinds, including one by a man wielding a cream pie. Said Miss Bryant afterwards, I was only glad it wasn ' t a fruit pie. Arab Oil Embarao • Watergate • Anita Bryant Gay Rights • Pope John Paul I and II • Spiro Agnew • Bicentennial
