RIP Del Martin


These ladies got press for being the first lesbian couple to tie the knot in California on June 17th. The lady on the right is Del Martin, and she has passed away. She was 87.

Del and wife Phyllis were the first to form a lesbian rights group, Daughters of Bilitis, in 1955.

Prayers and thoughts go out to Phyllis. Rest in peace, Del! At least they got to finally do what they should be allowed to do as a couple, and marry. Much love and thanks to her for all her hard work over her life.
