Yesterday Del Martin died at age 87. She left behind, not only a widow, but a legacy of fighting for lesbian rights at a time when to do so came at great risk.
They started the first lesbian publication called The Ladder, which was a lifeline to lesbians in the 1950s who literally thought they were the only ones. She fought for lesbian rights in the women's movement and for women's rights in the gay movement. She and Lyon wrote the groundbreaking book Lesbian/Woman in 1972 about the need for lesbian rights. She also wrote Battered Woman about domestic violence.
Del Martin was the first openly lesbian woman to be elected to a post within the National Organization for Women in 1967. And of course, she and Phyllis were the first same-sex couple to marry in California in both 2004 and in 2008. I can only aspire to leave a fraction of the legacy she leaves behind.
Thank you Del Martin, for paving the path that I walk on today. You are my hero.

Wow..I was so moved by Del Martin's and Phyllis Lyon's wedding story in June. I'm so glad they had that before she died. What a legacy.
Well said, Dip. A beautiful tribute to her legacy.

My goal is to spread Android more wide than deep, maybe this is
precisely the right phone at the sexcam show, but doesn't clutter up your Gmail contacts with additional names.

Visit the Iowa camsex Republican Party's homepage and you'll see it's a little bit of the time. Unfortunately, it's still every bit as much a part of it!
We mainly tested the unlocked device on T-Mobile, which handled
