I don't get the impression that it was a secret. It just wasn't common public knowledge. In other words, Sally Ride wasn't in the closet.

I'm just sorry she felt she had to hide it, couldn't get married, and didn't raise any children.

Huckabee called Chick-fil-A "a great American story" and hailed Chick-fil-A's president Dan Cathy for "operating the company with Biblical principles and whose story is the true American success story."

But no, discrimination is not an American success story, nor is there anything "great" about it. Sally Ride -- astronaut, pioneer, teacher, writer and devoted lesbian partner for 27 years -- now there's a great American success story.

Why do liberals focus on sexuality so much? I thought everyone was supposed to be judged equally?

Sally Kristen Ride (May 26, 1951 – July 23, 2012) was an American physicist and a former NASA astronaut. Ride joined NASA in 1978, and in 1983 became the first American woman to enter space.[1] As of 2012, Ride also remains the youngest American astronaut to be launched into space at thirty-two years old.[2] In 1987, she left NASA to work at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Arms Control.

Ride was extremely private about her personal life. She married fellow NASA astronaut Steve Hawley in 1982 and they divorced in 1987.[14]

After death, her obituary revealed that Ride's partner was Tam E. O'Shaughnessy, a female professor emerita of school psychology at San Diego State University and a childhood friend who met Ride when both were aspiring tennis players.[15][16][17][18] O'Shaughnessy became a science teacher and writer and, later, the chief operating officer and executive vice president of Ride's company, Sally Ride Science.[19][20] She co-authored several books with Ride. Their 27-year relationship was revealed by the company and confirmed by Ride's sister who also stated that Ride chose to keep her personal life private including her sickness and treatments.[15][17]

Once again it's the paranoid left that brings up the subject and judges people on the basis of their sexual orientation.

Some people make a choice not to have children. Hetero and homo alike.

What is with liberals always having the need to label and define people?
