one lonely success

this is a photo of Del Martin, 87, and Phyllis Lyon, 84.

they have been a couple for the past 55 years.

today, the state of california legally recognized their marriage; they were the first same-sex-couple to be married at 5:01pm PST.

i’ve said before that the way you respond to this civil issue will be one of the defining landmarks by which history will remember you. if you think i’m being dramatic, just talk to people whose parents/grandparents didnt support the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

congratulations Del & Phyllis.
