Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin became the first legally married lesbian couple in San Francisco just about an hour ago. Huzzah! Not only have they been some of the most important activists for LGBT rights in history, these broads have been together for 56 years! Can you imagine being a lesbian in the '50s, with that most complete cultural denial and repression aiming to destroy you and deny your existence, and at the same time, sustaining a relationship for over fifty years? Unbelievable.
Mazel tov to Del and Phyllis!
This is also good: the first gay couple to legally marry in Santa Clara County was
David and Rich Speakman of San Jose.
"The couple is using President Bush's economic stimulus check to pay for their wedding."
"'It paid for everything,' David Speakman said, 'so we should probably send him a thank you note.'"
(quoted from the Merc.)
LMAO!
