Gay rights protesters picket the Miss National Teen-Ager pageant Friday in Atlanta, opposing the choice of Anita Bryant as 'America's Greatest American' by the 3,500 pageant finalists. Miss Bryant was chosen for her religious impact on the women in the pageant, according to pageant director Sybil Shaffer, and not because of her campaign against a gay rights ordinance in Miami. Lavelda Fann of Gadsden, Ala., was crowned Miss National Teen-Ager later Friday night." Caption date-stamped "Aug 20 1977 Jnl-Consti."
