Although King was outed as a lesbian in a 1981 lawsuit, she remained married to Lawrence King until 1987.
As of yesterday, Billie Jean and her longtime partner Ilana Kloss can legally marry in California.

I hear that Billie is in the process of writing a new book too. It is tentatively entitled "Tennis with No Balls."

The American people have gotten to where they allow anything to occur. No one seems to appreciate GOD and his WORD when it states catagorically against homosexuality. It is just like criminals can break into your house and be charged with a crime but you hurt them and you get charged beyond belief, house taken and fined big time. This world is going to HELL in a handbag and getting worse everyday. Cant say enough about it because no one will listen or do anything about it. Christians seem to be below everyone else and their views and beliefs are of no consequence.

I'm a good Christian, and I LOVE Billy Jean King AND her gayness! She is a champion - a true champion every bit as good as Chris Everet or anyone else in the tennis world - even up to today. Billy Jean helped build women's tennis and should be given more credit than she has received. Inside, she is a beautiful person as well. Have you ever known het to do anything bad to anyone? No, because she is a good person.
I think she looks marvelous for her age. She looks much better that others of her age group - by far!
I wish I could write to her and tell her what a wonderful person I think she is and how much I admire her and hope only the best for her.
Love you darling!

Gosh, I am proud! Only one crude remark in the whole bunch! As for Dave, the article was about what BJK LOOKS like, not her politics or orientation. If you want to look for morality, check out Chris Everet and her adulterous affair with Greg Norman, and the way BOTH treated their longtime spouses.

yep, thats one nice looking, 64 yr old woman....... much more feminine then in the 1970's pic who says she cant cross over to be a lipstick lezz they dont all have to be butch, although i have always wondered about the lez's that go for butchy women... i mean there isnt that much difference in looks of a man that way... it must be a "taste" thing? ha ha ha
