"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.
