During the 70s fight over the Miami ordinance, she & her family were regularly threatened with violence. Her parents then lived in the county where I was a reserve deputy sheriff. Another deputy and I spent some nights providing security at their rural home. Thankfully, nothing ever happened.
The Left were joined by many “moderates” in ridiculing Anita. It was terrible injustice how few came to her defense.
Back in the 80s, we in YAF and CRs verbally battled the “Gay Student Union” on the campus in Tuscaloosa. The powers at be gave the perverts free office space in Bama’s Ferguson Center. We used a small advertisement from the back of a BLUEBOY magazine as proof that mainline homosexuals pursue minors. The ad had a small rough sketch of a man with a boy. The April Fools edition of the student newspaper (The Crimson White and that edition was called the Crmson Wipe) called YAF “Youth Against Faggotry” and said we had upped our demands to include the removal of women, Blacks, and foreign students from campus. But it also sniped at other side. A fake student event notice read, “Gay Student Union picnic … please bring a covered dish or a small child.”
