Outing Sally Ride: Her sexual orientation has nothing to do with space ships
yahoo ^ | 7/24/12 | Virginia Heffernan

Posted on 07/24/2012 6:39:09 PM PDT by Uncle Slayton

Maybe the idea of gays in space is just so exciting that it has overwhelmed Sally Ride's eulogists, who really should be parsing her achievements in astrophysics, accident investigations and middle-school education, rather than trying to make hay out of her mellow lesbian romantic life.

She was married to a man at the time, and divorced him in 1987 according to a thread I just posted.

Holy crapola:

Tereskova noticed almost immediately after entering orbit that her ship was pointed the wrong way, and when she fired her retrorockets to return to earth, it would actually have propelled her into a higher orbit, treating her to a slow, lonely death.

Well then maybe it was the husband who turned her into a lesbian, and not the government that shot her into outer space so she could be idolized. Murkier and murkier.

Explains why she died so early at 61.

Hands down, your statement is one of the most idiotic I've ever read on FR. She had pancreatic cancer. You should be ashamed by your words.

She did a lot of good.

God Bless and receive the soul of Sally Ride.

Come on people! Didn’t you all know she was a lesbian? Captain Obvious! Even when I was a little kid - everyone knew in school knew- like Jodi Foster, Ellen, Ricky Martin, Barry Manilow, or Hillary! Duh. Freepers are supposed to be good at picking these things out.

Yes. Fascinating story — we watch Dark Matters: Twisted but True and the story of the two Italian brothers/radio operators was one of the cases.

Absolutely fascinating what they heard.

From missing cosmonauts:

In May 1961, whilst listening in to another space frequency, the brothers uncovered a woman’s voice speaking sternly and professionally and saying the following;

“Isn’t this dangerous? Talk to me! Our transmission begins now. I feel hot. I can see a flame. Am I going to crash? Yes. I feel hot, I will re-enter”

What this recording seemed to suggest was that there had been the failed spaceflight of a woman who had appeared to suffer a problem and was close to death. The audio recording - widely available on the internet - is upsetting as the voice does sound like it is becoming more distressed as the transmission continues.

Just three days later the Soviet press agency made the announcement that a spacecraft the size of a bus had failed upon re-entry. There seemed to have been no announcement of its launch and no news of what its purpose was.

Pancreatic cancer explains why she died so early at 61.

OK a lot of thespians on the list, but that's just becaise we know about them more.

Hell, I didn’t know she was a lesbian

learning that she was reminded me that if she's in the Air Force, a woman probably is.

Steve Jobs cancer was probably related to his diet.

Pescovegetarians struggle to get enough fats and amino acids just like any other vegetarian diet.

And since you’re an expert, you’re probably aware that pancreatic cancer is very rare in people under 60.

And since he didn’t get married until he was 36, and claimed he suffered from hormone imbablances, who knows what else he was doing.

So you can shut up.

Who cares?

The only thing I care about is me.

Who is me?

I'm a lesbian locked in a male's body.

Sometimes it's rough being me.

5.56mm

I am second bass in my choir. First bass is gay and black.
He has both an innately better voice than mine and is better
schooled. If he should pass before me I will not remember
him as the gay black guy who sang bass. I will remember him
as one of he finest voices I have known.

I knew someone like that (married and then “came out” later), and it has to do with how they are raised and the timeframe (1980’s and before). Many homosexuals try to overcome their instincts and proceed to try to live a normal life throughout high school and college, dating and even marrying. But eventually they become so depressed from hiding their feelings, they have no choice but acknowledge what they feel, get divorced and try to rebuild their lives.
