My Article

A couple of days ago i was reading an article in the San Francisco Chronicle and it really caught my attention.It was about a lesbian rights pioneer named Del Martin who died on August 27, 2008. She had gotten married to her significant other on June 16th in California by Mayor Gavin Newsom.She Had began her political activism in lesbian rights in the 1950's, and thats also when she met her lover Phyllis Lyons.They have been partners for over 55 years and finally this year they were allowed to be married.Even though it didn't last long Ms.Lyons said "I am so lucky to have known her, loved her and been her partner in all things".I think that this was a very important article, because it is good to remind people the struggle that Lesbians and gays have to go through everyday, not being able to have the sacred bond of marrige like the rest of us have.I think this article shows how unfair things can be, but these people still fight for what they believe in and will never stop until they have the same rights and privileges that we have.
