The pioneering scientist was, a statement from Sally Ride Science announced, survived by “Tam O’Shaughnessy, her partner of 27 years.”

Bear Ride, talking with BuzzFeed, said today, “We consider Tam a member of the family.”
The first U.S. woman to fly in space, Ride was married to astronaut Steve Hawley from 1982 until 1987.

I read the original and never considered it to be a “coming out” or a statement of sexual preference by Ms. Ride but rather an acknowlegement of a close relationship with another person. What the hell does a personal matter have to do with the news and what kind of parents raised a person that publicizes other peoples most intimate matters.
