88-year-old woman comes out as lesbian


She's 88-years-old. Finally, after more than 4 decades of hiding a secret nobody (even her closest friends or family) knew, she decided to expose the skeletons in her closet- she's lesbian; has always been.


I think it's so riveting that an 88-year-old woman, someone whom we'd stereotype as conservative and backwards, actually hunched in the shadows with such an appalling shrouded life which is more relevant to our generation today than we'd expect from a woman her age. Like imagine your ah po coming out as les?

That's how long homosexuality has been skirting the borders of our society's moral compass.

I tried to find the original Newsweek article, but couldn't. So, an alternative here.

You won't believe how I came across this article. I was surfing Pink Is The New Blog and Jodie Foster has publicly acknowledged her alleged lesbian partner for the first time. They have two kids together.

After watching The Golden Compass with Rei and Seph, I decided to check out WHAT MY DAEMON IS.

I had verrryyy high expectations. My Daemon should be like me, so the most important trait is that it has to be CUTE. So, I was hoping for a mouse, a ferret, or anything that's furry and adorable.

You know what I got???

I got a CHIMPANZEE. OMG!! HOW CAN MY DAEMON BE A CHIMPANZEE??!! I'm cuter than that! Ew, I don't want Singapore Zoo's Ah Meng as my soul lah.

Faith's was a lion!

I'm disappointed.

Here, try for yours. Click on 'Daemon' on one of the tabs. It even comes with a name. Let's hope yours looks good.

What is it about men playing musical instruments and singing that's so hot?

She swears that there's no difference,
Between the lies and complements.
It's all the same if everybody leaves her.

She's giving boys what they want, tries to act so nonchalant,
Afraid they'll see that she's lost her direction.

She doesn't want to feel this way,

only seventeen but tired.


Such a moving song! I don't believe a girl exists who doesn't identify with it.
