I took this as my cue to make a commitment and said I would move to the suburbs to be with her and her three children, once her husband had moved out. Olivia has steered through its fair share of choppy waters. In 2009, the company settled a lawsuit out of court, filed against it by a former CEO, Amy Errett, who disputed her ownership interest. Court documents showed Errett was keen to push Dlugacz out of her role. (“We were almost gone,” Dulgacz says of that time.) Because we didn’t always have that. There was a time when we were out of favour because we weren’t ‘the right sort of lesbians’.” The club was subjected to demonstrations by the likes of the Gay Liberation Front who disapproved of the secrecy of the club, at a time when women could lose their children for being gay. The indomitable Gina Snr’s response was to call the police on them.

The data showed few differences between the two nations with respect to sexual orientation. England and Wales had very similar proportions of people who identified as: The census provides estimates of the characteristics of all people and households in England and Wales on Census Day, 21 March 2021.

So I wouldn’t let her kiss me good-bye, or hello, or leave the office with me. We couldn’t go to office parties together. Couldn’t stand too close. Couldn’t tell any of my friends. When my parents called and asked who I was dating, I said, after a pause, nobody at all.

There was always speculation about the relationship between her mother and Smithy. On her death bed, her daughter finally asked her about it. “I said: ‘People always ask me, Mum, and I hate to ask you but were you and Smithy lovers?’ And she said: ‘Everybody always assumed that Smithy was madly in love with me and that I was playing her along. But no we weren’t, and the reason for that was that Smithy didn’t want it.’ The overall person response rate for the census is the number of usual residents for whom individual details were provided on a returned questionnaire, divided by the estimated usual resident population. To know that I could finally come clean to my worrisome friends felt liberating beyond belief. I didn’t care about sacrificing my youth to move to outer London with a swarm of forty-somethings. All I wanted was to be with her full-time, and for it to be out in the open that we were together.

So there will be no problems on this ship!’” In February 1990, the first Olivia cruise set sail.
