I'm sad to report that Del Martin, a woman who was part of the first legal gay marriage in California when she married her partner of 55 years in June, died Wednesday. It's a beautiful thing though that she was able to get married to Phyllis Lyon before she passed on at age of 87 and got to be a part of history. Del helped found the pioneering lesbian-rights group the Daughters of Bilitis. Ms. Lyon, 83, said in a statement, "I am devastated, but I take some solace in knowing we were able to

With gay marriage in California, this truism of sorts is already starting to play out. According to a report in the Sacramento-based Capitol Weekly, the California Department of Corrections has now given the green light for gay prisoners to wed their same sex partners. The new policy is undoubtedly

Californians Split on Marriage, Oppose Ban August 28th, 2008 Californians are evenly divided on gay and lesban marriage, but overwhelmingly oppose taking the right away, according to the latest survey by the Public Policy Institute of California. The results suggest that 54 percent of likely voters will say no to Proposition 8, the proposal to ban same-sex marriage, come November. Jennifer Kerns, communications director for Prop. 8, said the survey is not surprising, considering the controv

Sometimes I wonder, who will be the one to march on Washington, to speak out, to be heard, to be seen, to champion the rights of LGBT people, to make the case, to speak the truth, and to certify that everyone knows our dreams are the same as those of our heterosexual neighbors. That we are no different. That our wants and desires for the future are no different. That our supposed differences are merely a construct of political action groups; parasites on a teaching of a man who may or may

Del Martin, one-half of the first lesbian couple to legally marry in the state of California earlier this summer, died Wednesday at 87. Martin (on the left) and her partner of more than 50 years, Phyllis Lyon, were married by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Pictures of the ceremony were published worldwide. No doubt, it came as a surprise to some in the more remote caves of the world. It was the perfect picture of two grandmotherly women exchanging rings and cutting cake. It’s what we’ve

Great strides have been made recently, however, with the recognition, among the most astute observers, that Hitler’s Third Reich is by no means an example of rightwing ideology and policies in action, contrary to current political doctrine.

I don't know how I just bursted into tears upon hearing the news. It has never happened before, not even when my own grandma kicked the bucket last Christmas. Del Martin passed away today.

It was only back in June, that Del and Phyllis, her lesbian partner of 55 years, finally got to tie the knot legally in San Francisco.

Words, they say, matter - especially when dealing with potentially discriminatory legislation: Arizona voters will be told when they go to the polls that it already is illegal for gays to marry in this state. Secretary of State Jan Brewer agreed late Tuesday to add that fact to the description of Proposition 102 that will appear on the November ballots. Approval would add a same-sex-marriage ban to the state constitution. Brewer — along with supporters of the measure — originally did not w
