Phyllis Lyon, one of the founding mothers of the Lesbian Movement, passed away at the age of 95 on April 9. Lyon, along with Del Martin, co-founded The Daughters of Bilitis, which was the first national lesbian group in the United States, although it began as just a secretive group of eight friends. Lyon and Martin became publicly known as lesbian activists, and with The Daughters of Bilitis published The Ladder, a lesbian magazine. Lyon was also an author and journalist. In 2008, Lyon and Martin married, becoming the first legally recognized gay union in California. (They were married by then-San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, now the governor of California.)
Del Martin passed away August 27, 2008.
