S1 Episode 12: Del Martin & Phyllis Lyon – The Daughters of Bilitis
Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon have the distinction of being the first gay couple to be married in the state of California. But their journey to the altar is far from an easy one. That's because, after that fateful day in 1949 when girl meets girl, the two will spend much of their 55-year love affair fighting for basic human rights beginning with the formation of the first lesbian rights group in the United States. Their love story is full of passion, commitment, and companionship to be sure. But it is also shroud with decades of gender discrimination; societal, cultural, and familial prejudice, and the pain that comes from living in constant fear of arrest or institutionalization, all for being the one thing everyone should have had the right to be… ourselves!
