Description

May Miami, Fla. Anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant filed for divorce from her husband of twenty years, Bob Green, citing "irreconcilable differences." The divorce, which was granted on August 15, 1980, was precipitated by disagreements over the management of Anita Bryant Ministries (ABM). Ontario-based evangelist Rev. Ken Campbell was a director of ABM, and the Bryant-Green split led him to confess that he had been "taken for a ride" by Bryant when he organized her Canadian anti-gay tour in 1978.
