Del Martin died today, just two months after marrying her partner of 55 years Phyllis Lyon. Martin and Lyon were the first couple to marry in California in 2004. That marriage however was voided by the state. Del and Phyllis married again on June 16. They were the first gay couple to married after the court upheld the ban on gay marriages. The two founded the Daughters of Bilitis in 1959. It is a sad day for the gay community everywhere.

Our prayers are with Phyllis and the rest of the family.

Look back tomorrow for more information.
