  7.     Patricia Ireland doesn't like labels, but there's one she
  8. can't escape: controversial. Last week the longtime women's
  9. rights activist, who is about to become president of the
  10. National Organization for Women, explained that in addition to
  11. her husband of 25 years, she has a female companion "who is also
  12. very important in my life." But the 46-year-old lawyer refused
  13. to call herself a lesbian or bisexual. "I've never hidden how
  14. I've lived my life," Ireland told the Advocate, the
  15. gay-and-lesbian biweekly. "What I don't like is the idea that
  16. people try to categorize other people by their sexuality."
