Outing

So it turns out that Truth newspaper (a conservative NZ tabloid) outed Marilyn Waring on August 24, 1976 with the cover headline of:


"Marilyn Waring, National Member of Parliament for Raglan, is a lesbian. Her lover is a former Hamilton housewife and mother of three, who left her husband and children about three months ago to share a Wellington love nest."

I can't find the actual cover, but here is what their general layout looked like in the 2000s:
