ADAMS, JR.** Over the past couple of decades, issues of morality have played a sig- nificant role in how the law regulates behavior and sexuality. For example, the debates about regulating sex and the legal rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender ("LGBT") individuals have often centered on society's dif- fering views of what is right and what is wrong.' In fact, one does not have to look further than the State of Florida's own history to see how views of morality have shaped its laws regarding sexual identity. Much of this history began thirty years ago when a runner up to Miss America and spokesperson for Florida Citrus Association, Anita Bryant,2 began a crusade against "homosexuality."
