Miami vote is forced

on homosexual rights

MIAMI (PP) Led by singer and orange juice promoter Anita Bryant, opponents of a law protecting homosexuals' rights have forced a special election at which voters will decide the measure's fate.

The Dade County Commission, which had passed the ordinance in January, voted 6-3 Tuesday to authorize the June 7 election.

The commission acted after a group called Save Our Children, Inc., presented 64,000 signatures far more than the 10,000 needed demanding that the commission either repeal the ordinance or call a referendum at which a simple : majority will uphold or reject it.
