One of the leading figures of the anti-gay movement in the United States back in the day, Anita Bryant has passed away. A singer and a devout Christian, Bryant was known for being outspoken against gay rights in the county and even ran and supported several campaigns that favored her views.
However, in a surprising twist of life, the singer’s granddaughter’s one move seems to have made her life work look utterly ironical as well as comical. While Bryant is remembered today for her career and controversial opinions, her granddaughter’s actions today speak volumes about her work.
Anita Bryant’s granddaughter turned her work into an ironic twist of fate
Anita Bryant recently passed away at the age of 84 and throughout her life, the singer remained a staunch Christian activist and often was in the news for her anti-gay views. The singer continued to hold on to her views and opinions, often stirring up controversies with her harsh words (seeThe Pink News).

Despite having a brilliant career ahead of her, she continued to campaign for her cause and became the focus of ridicule. And as a final ironic act, as life would have it, it turns out her grandaughter Sarah Green is a lesbian and married a woman in 2021.
Having come out to her grandmother on her 21st birthday, Green revealed on theOne Year podcastthat her grandmother continued to insist that she would eventually find the right man. She later stated that it was hard to argue with her granny due to her hardcore views on the subject.
Anita Bryant’s legacy as an anti-gay activist lives on
Anita Bryant gained fame with her singing talent and beauty, yet, her legacy continues to be dominated by her controversial radical reviews. One of the lead outspoken Christian opponents of gay rights in the country, she even ran the infamous Save Our Children campaign to repeal a Miami-Dade County ordinance that protected gay men and lesbians.

As she went on further on her path, her public image continued to be tarnished and she was even once infamously ‘pie-ed’ by a gay rights activist. Things turned even worse for her when she ended up divorcing her husband, turning her Christian supporters against her (via One Year podcast).
Despite everything, she continued to be steadfast about her fundamentalist views. The Grammy-nominated singer passed away, surrounded by her family and friends, on June 11, 2025, at her home in Edmond, Oklahoma (viaThe Oklahoman), and despite her talent and work in the entertainment industry, her Christian faith still makes up the majority of her legacy.
