Thank you for remembering Phyllis. She was a true pioneer and an extraordinary person.
If the word icon ever meant anything it certainly applies to Phyllis Lyon. Phyllis and her partner Del Martin were true pioneers in the fight for lesbian and LGBTQ+ rights. I'm honored to have called them my friends. Their contributions will never be forgotten.

KH, aside from your tweet, I had not heard. I am 72. I remember her well. They inspired a belief that we could be included and respected. A sad day. Thank you for your words.

Not the time. People are mourning the death of a 95-year-old LGBTQ+ icon in this thread.

Many years ago I was honored to meet Phyllis and Del. Their lifelong bravery, compassion and commitment helped inspire me to do some work toward same-sex marriage. I was thrilled when they were finally able to be legally married in 2008. RIP Phyllis
