"Pioneering lesbian rights activist Del Martin, who married her lifelong partner in June on the first day that same-sex couples [in California] gained that right, has died. She was 87..... Martin died at a San Francisco hospital Wednesday morning, two weeks after a broken arm exacerbated her existing health problems." She will be greatly missed. [AP]

Goodbye Del Martin! So many of us cut our teeth on what you worked so hard for. God's Speed, Del Martin! You sure made a huge ripple in the ocean of your time on earth. Heaven surely is rejoicing tonight! Watch over us and see things you started never end!
