WHOA. Mind blown. Had no idea, honestly. Go Queernaut, Go! I loved Sally Ride growing up, but now I'm thinking about teh struggles she probably had and how she likely had to hide much of herself to accomplish what she did.

I meant no offense with 'queernaut' and was trying to be clever & hip. I probably shouldn't have typed that

I think the term is astroqueer

Queertmospheric?

So..... what does that have to do with the price of eggs in China???

What does the price of eggs in China have to do with the accomplishments of gay people in the service of the country and humanity?

Absolutely nothing.... that is my point. It didn’t matter that she was gay...
-
Are you prepared to prove that ostentatious statement?

Wonderful article!

Thank you! Made sure that Sally Ride's contributions as the first known LGBT astronaut weren't overlooked. She's such an incredible inspiration!

I was just going to assume the article was talking about the moon, but I looked because I like to be informed on all gay space things. SALLY RIDE WAS GAY THIS WHOLE TIME AND I DIDN'T KNOW?

I look forward to the day when gay people doing extraordinary (and) ordinary things is so normal that no one needs to wonder if they are gay or not. Unless gay is a really a superpower, in which case big it up!!!

I wish I still had the Dirt Shirts T-shirt I got the day of the launch, watching from the shore of the Indian River in Titusville, FL. My mom took me out of school to go see this happen.

My daughter did a 3rd grade presentation on her. I was surprised that NONE of the kids’ books we found mentioned this - although several talked quite a bit about her husband :-/

"fails" is a bit much. Would we want every news article to state the sexual orientation? "some X did this, and X is [sexual orientation]."

That's the opposite of representation.

no... it isn't...

She's the first gay person in space (as far as we know). I'd say that's pretty significant for someone growing up gay to know about.
