This would be a tv series like Mrs. America where it takes on Anita Bryant and her anti gay rights activism. It would tell us the story of how she got into politics starting a movement against Jim Morrison’s onstage activity in 1969 to her anti gay rights activism in 1977 to stop the gay liberation movement with some flashbacks of her when she was in pageants and doing singing too. It will mildly show us on her childhood and how her parents got her into religion which is where she found her hateful beliefs. The series would also show us how the gay liberation was being planned and planned against them with Anita during the time. It would also show how her orange juice brand was boycotted everywhere including gay bars where they stopped selling screwdrivers to boycott her.
