Remember the cuteness that was the first legal gay marriage in California between Del Martin (left) and her partner of 55 years Phyllis Lyon? No? Look at this picture and let it wash over you.
We're sad to report that Del passed away Wednesday in San Francisco at the age of 87. Lyon said in a statement:
“I am devastated, but I take some solace in knowing we were able to enjoy the ultimate rite of love and commitment before she passed.”
Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon were founding members of Daughters of Bilitis the first lesbian social and political organization in the US and quite the groundbreaking hotness.
