Solution

Without having access to the specific podcast "Anita Bryant's War on Gay Rights," it's difficult to definitively answer this question. However, based on general historical knowledge, the statement that "Miami was the first city in the country to have an openly gay mayor" is likely to be false. The first openly gay mayor in the United States was not elected until the 1980s, and this occurred in California, not Florida. The other statements seem plausible based on the social and legal climate of the 1970s. However, you should verify this information by listening to the podcast or consulting other reliable sources.
