Del Martin, 1921 - 2008

Del Martin, the longtime political activist, died yesterday, just two short months following her history making wedding to Phyllis Lyon.

Her wife (and partner of 55 years) was at her side when she passed away.

Godspeed, Del. Thank you for paving the way.

Update: The true measure of Martin's trailblazing...an obituary in the New York Times.
