One subject Stacy addressed in her first Instagram post about her relationship with Cat is why she'd waited so long to go public about it. She said that although their friends and family all knew the two were dating, there were two reasons why she didn't make some big announcement about it for an entire year. The first reason, according to London, was that "this is my first serious relationship with a woman and I'm sure there will be some hoo ha about that. But I would never hide her out of shame."
The second reason, however, was that she felt that, in some way it might be seen as just too easy for her, a privileged middle-aged white woman, to suddenly announce her late-life coming out, particularly as she used to date men in her younger days. She was struggling with a way to acknowledge those who'd been less fortunate and whose coming out stories were more difficult. As she put it, "Unlike me, there are countless people in the LGBTQIAP community who have had no choice in who they are, no love from family on which to lean, no support from anyone anywhere. I fell in love, truly in love, with this beautiful, sexy, kind soul and I won't apologize for that but I stand on the shoulders of a community that fought like hell for me to be able to do that openly and proudly and EASILY."
