“Sarah Paulson and [Holland Taylor’s]: A Look at Their Love Story”

First, let’s get this out of the way. Of course, I am fascinated by the romance between Sarah Paulson (age 46) and Holland Taylor (age 78), as I am a lesbian with a well-documented preference for older partners.

Reportedly meeting at a party while Paulson was seeing another lady (actor Cherry Jones), Paulson later told The New York Times that Taylor was “perhaps the most beautiful gorgeous woman I’d ever seen.” I’m hatching a plan!

Paulson has said, “My choices in love relationships have not been traditional, and so the thought that it is ‘other’ makes it appealing,” which suggests that the concept of “I Want What They Have-ing” a lesbian couple might seem voyeuristic.

Just because I’m homosexual doesn’t mean I have a free license to stare, but maybe I do. Approximately how much? I guess all I can say is that those who aren’t used to seeing relationships like theirs portrayed in the media could go a bit overboard when confronted with capital-R Representation.

The Pennsylvania native joked that the Mrs. America alum’s continued relationship with her was a “mystery” in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly.

When I first met Sarah, I was taken aback. “It’s not surprising that we love each other and respond to each other in this manner, but the fact that she would make a commitment like this and spend her life with me is a continual surprise every day,” Taylor told Us at the time.

To top it all off, she called Paulson “the center of her life” and praised him for being “extremely bold” and “very real” for being in a relationship with such a significant age difference.

“I essentially am following her path and I’m blessed,” she said.

Harper’s Bazaar conducted an interview with the Run star and Roxanne Gay after the virtual 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards when they talked about the media’s obsession with their age difference.

To paraphrase Paulson, “our own ageist mentality and the concept that to be old is to cease to have any drive” is to blame. She said, “anybody says anything about any person I love in a way that is rude or nasty and I want to cut a bitch,” despite the most favorable responses to her relationship.

Paulson attended the final performance of Taylor’s off-Broadway run as ANN at the Pasadena Theatre to offer her support for her. Along with a snapshot of Taylor performing, she captioned it, “The love of my life @hollandtaylor is finishing her concert tonight” on Instagram.

For the last seven years, and counting, I have loved her, but today, as she guides this production to a safe landing, I have never loved her more than I do right now. She’s an artist down to her bones… I have a soft spot in my heart for brilliant people. “That is the honest-to-God truth.”

To be inspired by the talent of the person you live your life with is the most amazing thing in the world,” Paulson added gushingly about her lover. “I adore you, I admire you, I worship you, @hollandtaylor,” she tweeted.
