Jan Morris, a prominent travel journalist who famously recorded her sex-change operation in the autobiographical "Conundrum", entered a civil partnership with her previous wife, Elizabeth Tuckniss, nearly 60 years after their marriage and more than 30 after their divorce. Read the entire The Daily Telegraph article for more information.
Many in recent years have perhaps unconsciously felt intimidated by the ways limits of sexuality have been stretched and challenged (remember Thomas Beatie); and I shouldn't be surprised if more discontent should be elicited from Singaporeans, who have been generally considered a conservative population.I, however, always find it encouraging to hear such news, knowing that while unprecedented divorce rates in heterosexual marriages have also been challenging conventions of love, people belonging to the sexual minorities are treading, against prevailing negative stereotypes, previously unimaginable and untrodden axes of loves.
May I just softly give my blessings to this wonderful octogenarian.
