Singer Anita Bryant Dead at 84
Posted on 2025-01-11 14:47:13
Anita Bryant, a former Miss Oklahoma and popular singer who became known over
the second half of her life for her outspoken opposition to gay rights, has
died.

She was 84. Starting in the early 1960s, she had several hit singles and had
performed at the White House and the political conventions for both parties.

But in the late 1970s, her life and career began a dramatically new path.

Bryant led a successful campaign to repeal an ordinance in Florida’s
Miami-Dade County that would have prohibited discrimination against gay
people.

Her career in entertainment soon declined. Supported by the Rev. Jerry
Falwell among others, she continued to oppose gay rights around the country.

Bryant's family did not list a cause of death.
