Now Even Gayer…and that is REALLY gay!

Equal Marriage Advocate Del Martin Dies

Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon get married in San Francisco, June 16, 2008Del Martin moved in with her partner Phyllis Lyon on Valentines Day, 1953.  She never left her and fought and led by example to gain the right for legal recognition of their relationship.  55 years later, when the California Supreme Court approved same sex marriages, they were first in line to make their vows.  (See our earlier story from June 2008)

Del passed away today and leaves behind a legacy that she aptly described as:  “being able to help make changes in the way lesbians and gay men view themselves and how the larger society views lesbians and gay men.”

Thanks Del!  Rest in Peace.
