I Did It My Ways, at the age of 86.Here’s Forest on her journey.You grew up in a conservative suburb outside of Boston in the 1940s and ‘50s.
When did you realize you might be interested in women?I reluctantly got married in the late 1950s, and my husband and I went to Provincetown, Mass., for the weekend.
I had no idea the town was sort of a safe haven for gay people.We were walking on Commercial Street and in front of us were two women holding hands.
It was at that moment that something was sparked inside of me. I thought, My God, I wish I could do that. That seems so lovely.
