I’m sure it is a very difficult time for Sally Ride’s family, and her partner of 27 years, Tam O’Shaughnessy.

It was so cool when she flew. Rest well in the heavens you touched before...

And of course, Der Fuehrer, who has decimated America's space program, had to weigh in. Hypocrite!

Rest in peace, Ms. Ride. Thank you for your enormous contribution to space exploration.

They had Ride listed as “straight” in her biography near as I could tell. Endorsed Barack Hussein Obama,though, so I assume she was a liberal.

Maybe she just wanted her private life kept private...I can respect that.
