The Founders Of Daughters Of Bilitis Will Wed First On June 16th In California
Yes, Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin will be the first lesbian couple to wed at the San Francisco courthouse on June 16. They have been together for fifty years and were first married in 2004. On June 16th, they will again wed in front of friends and family as well as supporters.
Del and Phyllis were the founders of the Daughters of Bilitis, which is the first United States lesbian organization in history. They have been active leaders and supporters for the lesbian community. Their marriage will be the beginning for all lesbian and gay couples seeking to marry their same sex partners.
This will be a joyous day for the couple who have overcome all the obstacles society has thrown their way. After fifty years, they will finally be legally married in the eyes of all including God.
