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.

106. Yeah, they went after her when she spoke out against gays. Its amazing how narrow minded and bigoted gasy and liberals can be when you dont agree with them....free speech only is for them.

107. Oh, leave this woman alone. She is older now and I bet most of us won't look any better at her age. You jerks that put her faith down can not muster up any tolerance for a Christian. But, oh boy, you are so respectful of other faiths such as Muslims. Try acting like grown ups for once and back off of this woman. Man, I get sick of you snobs.

108. If you ask me Religion is a personal thing and it has no place in a Government of people from different Lands,different Beliefs,different lifestyles.

As long as people are not hurting other people,lying,stealing,raping,murder,slavery. Then leave people be for who they are respect their right because one day you may be in a different world where your kind will not be welcome.

I look forward to the day when all Bigots when caught are made to go to a sensitivity class and deprogrammed and have the Brainwashing removed.

I look forward to the Day WHEN EVERY CHURCH IN OUR NATION IS TAXED 10% THIS WILL GET OUR NATION OUT OF DEBT!

If the Christian Church and any other Church can take DONATED MONEY THAT IS TAX FREE MEANT TO HELP COMMUNITY, USE IT AS DIRTY MONEY TO HURT A MINORITY OF PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT ONE OF YOUR KIND? Excuse me I think these churches have too much power! Just think of all that dirty money could have been used to help woman and children who need home. I know of at least 9,000.Family's living in the woods in Tents with their children right now! I know mothers and fathers digging in the Dumpster's to feed their children. The church is a big Lie it does the least it can do in our USA and pockets all that donated money for their own Power.

No More I will fight until my last breath until every church in the Nation if made to pay its Tax to its Government! They lost their right to be Non Profit when they are using the money for Beautiful buildings,Land,Schools,the list could go on and on. This time the church has gone to far and it needs to be put in its place that money is donated for the good of a community and it better start Helping a community in every town in every city all across the nation we will get out of Debt when the Church starts Paying all the Tax and for once Do something Good!

Last but not least That OJ Lady looks so Hateful it shows from the lines on her face.

109. Listen up Bigots I am a mother of a Gay Son, and he is a very Loving Son! How dare you tell me he doesn't deserve to be respected! No school wants to teach Gay Lifestyle that BS was started by the Christian Church of Bigotry and Hate!

Look at it this way,how would you like it if you were in a world where the majority was Gay and you were a Hetro?
And everyone told you had to do it their way? Wouldn't you become angry,and fight for your right to be who you were?
Wouldn't you feel who are these people trying to say they have some evil Book and it tells them you must do what their Book says?
Would you stand up and say do your own thing? I have my own mind body and soul who are you to try and control the way I feel and live?
Why do I have to live by your beliefs? Who are you what makes you so righteous? Because of some Book?

If you ask me Religion is a personal thing and it has no place in a Government of people from different Lands,different Beliefs,different lifestyles.

As long as people are not hurting other people,lying,stealing,raping,murder,slavery. Then leave people be for who they are respect their right because one day you may be in a different world where your kind will not be welcome.

I look forward to the day when all Bigots when caught are made to go to a sensitivity class and deprogrammed and have the Brainwashing removed.

I look forward to the Day WHEN EVERY CHURCH IN OUR NATION IS TAXED 10% THIS WILL GET OUR NATION OUT OF DEBT!

110. i think she looks great. And I still believe she's smarter than the rest of you. So what if she was against gays. Obviously there alot of us that still are. Clean living looks good on her - although she could use a stylist ( are there any straight ones out there?)

111. And to the "bigoted Mom" above. If we lived in a world where we were all homosexual...well.. there wouldn't be any future generations. DUH Think through your stupidity before you write it. There's a reason that people think it's wrong.

112. What everyone needs to know is that he/she who does not love does not know God for God is love. Yes, everyone is hypocritical. Everyone reacts this way when someone does the same thing to them that they have done to others. Everyone here is out for themselves. That's politics; it's not God. And if you believe that your sins are better than another person's, you've fallen short of God's grace. If you believe it's what you do instead of Who you know that gets you to heaven, you've fallen short of God's grace.

113. More examples of those tolerant, compassionate liberals who wish harm upon anyone who doesn't agree with them. Why is Anita Bryant evil? Because she disapproves of homosexual behavior and lifestyles? And because she doesn't believe it should be taught to school children? That is her big sin? And commenter number 8, how ironic that you would say your God is forgiving and non-judgemental as you spew hatred for Anita Bryant. You are all hypocrites. On the other hand Bryant has never expressed personal hatred for homosexuals, or wished them any harm, she just disapproves of their behavior. Who are the real intolerant hateful people? It would seem to be the people on this board.

114. WOW! I saw her and she is SAGGING! Heard she has to go the podiatrist to get a complete breast exam! Yep, this is what happens when hateful people do hateful things. She used her fame to incite discrimination and condemnation against people who have been made by our creator. Get over the hatred people. Embrace our differences. Grow up and let Anita be an example of what happens to detestable people. She is NOT an example of Christ's love.

115. Stew, you make a foolish comment. If gays don't want to have any responsibility for raising a family, why are they fighting for the right to marry and adopt kids?

116. Then leave all the judging to God and tend to your own house.

117. I WAS IN AUSTIN WHEN THIS HATER SHOWED UP SHOUTING EVIL THINGS AGOUT GAYS. I WENT IN THE CHURCH AND LISTENED TO HER PREACH. UNIFORMED POLICEMAN WERE EVERWHERE.
I FELT AS THOUGH I WAS IN NAZI GERMANY. SHE SPAT SUCH VILE WORDS FOR A CHRISTIAN. SHE SHOCKED THE HOLY CRAP OUT OF ME. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS A WOMAN THAT I DEARLY LOVED UP UNTIL THIS TIME.
IT WAS REALLY A VERY PEACEFUL PROTEST. SHE WAS COVERD IN SECURITY GUARDS....AND IF A LITTLE LUCK WAS THERE THAT DAY....A COUPLE OF ORANGES HIT HER CAR AND HER EGO.
FUNNY THAT SHE WOULD CHOSE HATE OVER LOVE. THOSE WERE SOME TIMES LET ME TELL YOU.
I HEARD SHE DIVORCED HER HUSBAND BECAUSE HE WAS CHEAGING ON HER WITH ANOTHER MAN.
WHO KNEW?

118. what a TOAD! I guess she couldn't afford a proper nose job in Los Angeles or a proper dentist with those HORRIBLE horse-like dentures! She has the nose of an alien and teeth of a horse! WHAT A NASTY CREEP. I guess this is payback for her years of hate. GOTCHA ANITA!!! Look at that tacky home-make outfit and earings that look like they were made at a senior citizens craft party. Too bad a gay dentist and plastic surgeon in Los Angeles didn't do her work, she would have at least looked normal and natural if not great, instead she turned out to look like a mutant! Payback is a bitch anita. GOTCHA!
