"In the mid-fifties, lesbian and gay couples certainly didn't talk about getting married. People were far too preoccupied with fear of losing their jobs. . . Back then, it seemed as if marriage was wholly unobtainable in our lifetime." ~Phyllis Lyon (below right), who this week was finally able to legally marry Del Martin, her partner of 55 years

The sad thing is that many of these same couples were married in 2004 and had their marraiges voided. Let's up they aren't disappointed again.
Also, the kilts are awesome.
Thanks for posting these! I admit... I totally cried.
