Know your LGBTQ+ history! – #Repost @lgbt_history ・・・ “BATTLE OVER GAY RIGHTS: ANITA BRYANT vs. THE HOMOSEXUALS,” @newsweek, June 6, 1977. . In January 1977, Florida’s Miami-Dade County Commission adopted an ordinance outlawing discrimination based on sexual orientation in employment, housing, and public services, prompting local celebrity and archconservative Anita Bryant to dedicate herself to rolling back similar protections across the United States. . After forming Save Our Children, Inc., Bryant, Jerry Falwell, and thirty other religious leaders sought to collect the signatures required to put Miami-Dade’s human rights law to a popular vote. Instead of the required 10,000 signatures, Save Our Children delivered the names of 64,000 residents in favor of repealing the ordinance. . A vote was set for June 7, 1977. . The Newsweek issue dated June 6, 1977, forty-two years ago today, reported on this brewing “battle over gay rights.” For “many of the nation’s 20 million homosexuals,” @newsweek explained, “the vote—the first of its kind in a major city—is a crucial test of whether the country is willing to extend civil-rights legislation to homosexuals. ‘Miami is our Selma,’ says one gay activist.” . And, the piece continued, “Bryant is proving to be a catalyst for the gay rights movement as well—drawing attention to the issue and mobilizing homosexuals to organize politically and raise funds….[Whether or not] the Bryant forces win, Anita Bryant’s crusade will be felt for years to come.” . The following day, Bryant’s campaign secured a crushing victory over queer rights activists (the final vote in favor of repeal was 202,319 to 89,562); this phase of the culture war, however, had barely started. #lgbthistory #HavePrideInHistory #AnitaBryant #Resist

Still up? Can’t sleep? We’re here for you! JOHNS CREEK Location – Support Group Meetings Due to summer camp at the church we will change rooms for June only. Rooms 214, 216, 220, 221 will be used for June. See signs on doors to see which room to go to. WHEN: Tuesday, June 18 (3rd Tuesday of Each Month) 7 – 8:30 PM WHERE: Johns Creek United Methodist Church 11180 Medlock Bridge Road Johns Creek, GA 30097 (2nd Floor – changed rooms for June only) PFLAG JOHNS CREEK is here for you! Providing free and confidential support to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals, and their parents, families, and friends in the North Atlanta metro area. PFLAG JOHNS CREEK support groups meet on the third Tuesday of each and every month at the JOHNS CREEK location. We know it can be intimidating, if not frightening, at first to share personal, real life struggles with strangers. Please know that you do not have to speak unless and until you feel comfortable. Some people just come and listen to others’ stories. Sometimes part of the process, especially in the beginning, is to just listen to others who have been where you are. PFLAG JOHNS CREEK is a safe space! And it’s OK to cry (We have plenty of tissues on hand!). We have four separate groups and each room has a sign identifying which group is meeting in that room. Choose the group that is best for you: TWEENS – A special safe space for LGBTQ+ tweens (4th-7th grade; ages 9-13) to socialize with other tweens. This is NOT a facilitated support group but instead a social group with games, art, and other fun for tweens to enjoy all while being themselves. The Tween Social Group runs concurrent with the older Teen and Adult Support Groups. A parent must attend an Adult Support Group Meeting or remain in the 3rd floor main hallway. TEENS – Support/discussion for LGBTQ+ teens and their teen friends/allies (8th grade and up; minimum age 13). PARENTS/ALLIES – Support/discussion for parents, families, and friends of LGBTQ+ adults or youth. ADULTS – Support/discussion for LGBTQ+ adults only. Safe space for adults including those who are questioning. Questions? Want to know more? Web: PFLAGJohnsCreek.org
