[2] Terry Gross actually relishes that her sexual orientation is a matter of public dispute. From the introduction to her book All I Did Was Ask (2004): "My mother-in-law came with us [to a reception], and at one point I saw her laughing at something the wife of one of the other fellows had just said to her. She later explained that the woman had pointed at me and whispered, "Terry Gross is here. Did you know she's a lesbian?" That's one of the reasons I love working on radio: You might be a public figure but you're essentially just a voice, and this lets each person who listens form whatever image of you he or she wants-tall or short, fat or thin, sex bomb or schoolmarm, straight or gay."
