"It was also at Sarah Lawrence that Gore realized that she was a lesbian. Before college, she later explained, she simply had never had the time to examine her true feelings." -- biography.com


"Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone

But Judy left the same time" -- It's My Party

 


It’s my  party, let me cry,

Lamented Leslie Gore,

When she saw her special guy

With Judy at the door.


In later years, her party tears,

When she was sad and moody,

Would have been because of fears

That she was losing Judy.
