Artist Bio:
Anita Bryant is an American singer, actress, and beauty queen born on March 25, 1940, in Barnsdall, Oklahoma. She rose to fame in the 1950s and 1960s as a pop singer, with hits such as "Paper Roses" and "Till There Was You." Bryant also achieved success as a spokesperson for companies like Coca-Cola and Holiday Inn.
Beyond her music career, Bryant became known for her conservative Christian beliefs and activism. In the 1970s, she became a prominent opponent of gay rights, particularly in her home state of Florida. This led to significant controversy and backlash, including boycotts of her music and products. Despite her success in the entertainment industry, Bryant is perhaps best remembered for her divisive stance on LGBTQ+ issues.
