The Mistress of the dark reveals her secret relationship with another woman, explains how she views her sexuality now and shares who struggled to accept the news (via toofab)
"I don't think I got [to] 50 and suddenly went,"Hey, I'm gay. Oh damn, why'd I wait so long?" she tells TooFab.
The two first met back in 1995, at a gym where Teresa -- or"T," as she refers to her in the book -- worked as a trainer. Peterson was instantly attracted to her, but first thought she was a man. Eventually, they started training together and struck up a friendship. When Peterson's marriage to Mark Pierson fell apart and ended in divorce, the two grew even closer -- until Cassandra shocked both of them by kissing T after a night out.
"I try to explain to people, I don't think I'm coming out. But, on the other hand, I sort of am," she told TooFab."I still consider myself straight, even though I was attracted to a woman ... but now there's so many different things, you can be gender fluid, just attracted to that person."
