Anita Bryant has no followers yet. Be the first one to follow.
If you are like Anita Bryant was, and you have a crusade against homosexuals, I don't want to say something is wrong with you like you say something is wrong with me. I don't want to change you like you want to change me. But you hate me and I don't hate you. Just stop hating me. Stop hating me for no reason. I don't do anything to you. But you do something to me with your words of hatred. Stop hating me. Stop homophobia.
