Anita Bryant, a former Miss Oklahoma and popular singer who became known over the second half of her life for her outspoken opposition to gay rights, has died.

Bryant was perhaps most well-known for her 1977 “Save Our Children” campaign that painted gays and lesbians as a threat to the country’s youth.

"Paper Roses" singer Anita Bryant was largely known for her conservative beliefs and as the spokesperson for Florida oranges in the early '70s.
