I’m sure it is a very difficult time for Sally Ride’s family, and her partner of 27 years, Tam O’Shaughnessy.

And of course, Der Fuehrer, who has decimated America's space program, had to weigh in. Hypocrite!
Rest in peace, Ms. Ride. Thank you for your enormous contribution to space exploration.
To: BatGuano
Yes, Tam was a woman. She still is.

They had Ride listed as “straight” in her biography near as I could tell. Endorsed Barack Hussein Obama,though, so I assume she was a liberal.
