Pioneering lesbian & civil rights activist Phyllis Lyon died at age 95 in 2020 & her wife Del Martin who passed in 2008 cofounded the Daughters of Bilitis (DOB) in San Francisco in 1955 becoming the first social & political organization for lesbians in the United States. They both acted as president & editor of The Ladder until 1963 & remained involved in the DOB until joining the National Organization for Women (NOW) as the first lesbian couple to do so. Phyllis Lyon was not only a legendary pioneer in the fight for equality she was also founder of Lyon-Martin Health Services. This fabulous event is a fundraiser to support the documentary “The Day the Curtains Came Down” which tells the story of Phyllis' last years & her creative, loving & stealthy AF all-queer caregiving team.
