MILK Does the Body Good

The 68-year-old loose cannon resurfaced at some event, looking like she could use a gay best friend.

After a boycott of orange juice was started due to the negative publicity surrounding her political campaigning, Anita's contract with the Florida Citrus Commission was not renewed. In 1998, Miami re-authorized an ordinance protecting individuals from discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Despite being a devout evangelical Christian, Anita divorced her first husband in 1980.

91. Is she trying to do a reallllllly baaaaaaaaad Sarah Palin in that picture?

No? Wow, then her inside ugliness has truly surfaced.

And here I thought this wicked witch had long ago been melted by a pailful of reconstituted orange juice.

97. Say what you want about her. All I know is that after watching her on TV one day my brother went home and hung himself. I will never forgive her or Jerry Farwell or any of those hate mongers. My brother was a kind and gentle, honest and compassionate man. Those days must stop and now we have this idiot Pat Boon comparing gays to terroists in India. I just won't put up with it. I don't want to see anymore young ppl going that way. Love is the only answer. That's what my church preaches and and I know in my heart that Christ would have us do..........love first and judge last. Peace.

98. TO START WITH ANITA BRYANT HAS NEVER BEEN A FAILED SINGER. SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT THE TOP OF ANY AND ALL LISTS OF BETTER SINGERS WITH ENORMOUS TALENT. WHATEVER SHE DID IN THE PAST, SHE DID BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT SHE BELIEVED IN. COMPARED TO BEHAVIOR OF TODAY, HER BEHAVIOR WAS NOTHING BUT MILD. WHY ATTACK EVERYTHING THAT HAS SCULPTED AMERICA, I ASK?
IF EVERYONE WOULD CONCENTRATE ON CURRENT PROBLEMS THEY WOULD BE FAR BETTER OFF. WE HAVE SERIOUR PROBLEMS IN THIS COUNTRY, AND ALL MUST BE FACED AND ADDRESSED. THERE IS NO TIME TO DEVOTE TO SUCH FOOLISHNESS AS ATTACKING THE PAST IN ANY FASHION! THEREFORE, LEAVE THIS LADY ALONE. SHE IS NOT BOTHERING ANYONE. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS FIRST!

101. I was hoping that there would be some redemption in this story, that maybe after all these years of hate she had possibly mellowed or reconciled herself with reality. The picture says nothing. Does she regret her hate? Has she changed? It's been 25 years.

102. Interesting how everyone assumes that TMZ is from the "left." All people including those from the "right" can be tasteless and crude. TMZ: Making fun of the old is bad for your Karma. You're going to be the sickest, ugliest, and poorest old people around.

104. Nobody here is really old enough to know anything about Anita Bryant. Other than orange juice commercials does anyway know anything else about her? Why does everyone care so strongly about her opinions. She is practically invisible now. TMZ by posting this photo has only stirred up a bunch of baseless hate.

105. Ron - if you are so educated then why are you posting on TMZ? I mean really - that is quite pathetic for someone as high brow as yourself.
