TIL Sally Ride had a female partner for more than 25 years, making her the first known LGBT astronaut.

via reddit.com

Wow LGBT? All at once? She was a fucking lesbian just say the word lesbian

They’re saying she was the first astronaut who was part of the lgbt community they’re not trying to erase her being a lesbian

She was the first LESBIAN astronaut fuck ur gbt

Hi I’m actually not gbt I’m also a lesbian.

What I’m trying to say is they’re saying she was the first LGBT astronaut not the first lesbian because it means she was there before any gay, bi or trans astronaut. Idk why you’re so upset about this

saying lgbt instead of lesbian isn’t erasing anything about her bc the context of the sentence implies that she’s the first astronaut who’s not cishet, therefore everyone before her was. it’s a bigger meaning that conveys a lot more information that wouldn’t be conveyed by just saying she was the first lesbian.
