Steve, this is so amazing I need to bring it up. Took me years to get over how heavy it was, and I used to have a lot of articles like my own documentary, but little by little I lost them.
Anita Bryant began a very loving campaign against the process of homosexuals recruiting sex-identity crisis kids, and the other prosyltizing that has proven effective enough that I cannot even voice my opinion of where this is going.
I don't know when her campaign was launched but it gathered tremendous speed in 1979 and was in 1981 she was literally smashed to the ground by one of the most viscious media assaults in American History (hey, I'm a graduate of George Washington University in American Field of Studies--let me pretend I know what I"m talking about) and as you know the effect of the homosexual armies massing against this one woman were total and absolute. She lost all of her income, her husband left her with the income ( some guy, wow, what a loss that must have been) and she ended up in literal suicidal depression while the rest of the Christian world tsk tsk'ed about it and probably never even prayed for her.
About a number of months, I would say, after her national execution while the body of Christ watched solemnly, giving very little support as I remember, the first case of aids popped up in the S.F. Chroncile. I was living in Eureka, CA at the time, second only to S.F. in being one of the great meccas for
same-sex people, and I saw that first article. It is now famous, and just said that several homosexuals had popped up with a totally unknown-on-the-face-of-the-earth disease, a strange purple lesion on the stomach and legs, that WAS NOT found in medical history to date, by the way, and was "baffling
the medical community". (THat's still pretty weird. If it was all over Africa, why hadn't someone noticed it in l981?)
Anyway, for the record God sent a messenger. But the messenger was killed. I keep finding that before every catastrophy, God sends a messenger. So, perhaps we should all be listening very close ourselves about everything.
It was just the timing of Anita stepping out on that one woman crusade, her public execution, and the first Aids cases-- it is very, very eerie indeed. And something I seem to be the only one that noticed, as usual. |
