Thursday, August 28, 2008

Lesbian activist Del Martin died on Wednesday, just two months after marrying her partner of 55 years in one of the first legally recognized California same-sex weddings. "I am devastated, but I take some solace in knowing we were able to enjoy the ultimate rite of love and commitment before she passed," her wife Phyllis Lyon said

Most marriages go downhill after the honeymoon, but this is ridiculous....

Just how does one pioneer in lesbianism? Was she one of the first women to taste another's taco?

"Just how does one pioneer in lesbianism?"

Be one of the first to suggest they actually might be equal to their straight counterparts.

TACO TOWN!!!!!

Props out. Peace, Dotty.

"Lesbian Pioneer..."

To boldly go where no man has gone before....

FF!

lesbian pioneer-sort of a brokeback mountain for women? At least the eating would be more fun than with, say, the Donner Party.
Lois and Clarkette?

appreciate the pic zonic. now if y'all will excuse me, i need a drink.

Lois and Clarkette?

laverne and shirley?

Such disgusting and inappropriate comments as a wonderful human being has passed so soon after formalizing her love. However, as Americans we have the right to express ourselves. May Del rest in peace!

ff beekeeper!

....wow, and all along we thought Phyllis was her husband. So sad.

WTF does that mean? How are they not equal?

"Pioneer" is a word we've overused to the point where it doesn't mean anything anymore.

There has never been a lesbian before this woman!
She was a pioneer!

"Lesbian Pioneer..."

The only thing I can think of is a wagon tongue...

I took "Pioneer" to mean Phyllis Lyon sitting on the side of Del Martin's head

"My partner and I don't believe in the legalistic and prejudiced God of the Bible. We believe that God blesses our union." Del Martin

"Homosexual marriage is an abomination in my sight. I will not be mocked!" God

From the article, talking about when gay marriages were legalized:
"A stampede of marriages followed"

No doubt! Did you see all the bull dykes getting married. Quite a "stampede" indeed!

That's awesome. FF.

Yeah. Ellen and Portia roll their own tampons and kick start their vibrators...

This thread is hanging on topic by a gossamer thread. If you cant say anything kind about some old lady lovin ladies who jumped the broom after 55 years of having their relationship marginalized, by all means take the piss out of them and banter about the almost 80 years of hard-lived weathering on their bodies and their dusty vaginas. The woman is dead and her partner is alone with a slice of cake in her freezer. Poor gal. Sheesh.

You fucking homophobic pigs! Not one of you have spent a single minute to find out why she is considered a 'Pioneer' by many of us in the LGBT community.

Go fuck yourselves with a crucifix, morons.

Lighten up, Francis.

So much for the notion that married people live longer.

It just seems longer.

"Something about this story smells fishy."

That was a dirty crack.

Translation: "Please stop hating, you at whom I spew my anti-religious hate."

A heap of hypocrisy with a dash of irony: It's not just for breakfast anymore.

I thought Ellen DeGeneres was a pioneer when she bragged she ate Anne Heche's bearded clam for 18 (yes, eighteen) hours in a row.

Anne limped away from that marriage, saying she didn't want to be a lesbian anymore!

Yeah SE4NY6969 You can't take the hating back at ya?

Did I start this smear of a great woman's character. No, instead I witness all you godly people laugh and cajole at someone jesus would have helped to the ends of the world to ensure her happiness.

But you. No. You're just filth.

Don't forget the Lube.

The headline is funny. She's really a lesbian activist pioneer...not a lesbian pioneer.

Lighten up, Francis. Again.

Gosh, she was a "neo-lesbian." Remember the isle of Lesbos. Remember Sappho. Who are these upstarts trying to claim all of the glory that inheres to a lesbian lifestyle and commitment.

... her wife Phyllis Lyon said

By the way, how is who is "the husband" and who is "the wife" determined in such relationships since there are no physical demarcations. Is it some sort of game, where you toss a coin, or does it depend on the individuals' choices? Can one say, "I want to be the husband today, or the wife, and the couple switch roles? Does it affect lesbian sexual practices? How does the husband-wife designation operate in a lesbian relationship?

I wonder if they adhere to role models, and the designated "husband" is the provider?

Hey Dumpling1, give it a rest. Unless you're afraid that the comments on the thread can send her to Hell. Otherwise, as an atheist, you would think that the deceased is oblivious to any and all comments.

Possibly you are offended by how you gather lesbians, and other impaired people (LGBT), who are drawn to marginal relationships, are viewed by others in the community. The "jokes" convey quite a bit of an unconscious attitude.

If you are offended, you're offended for yourself. This dead lesbian is no longer a conscious sentient creature, and so is beyond reproach. All of the hilarity and mirth her situation evokes in some, is meaningless to her. No one can insult "her."

Are you irate because of the way that you feel that you are regarded? Remember that declarations of "gay pride" are supposed to insulate you from any jibes. If you're confident with yourself and your situation, then the attitudes of others shouldn't demean you. Remember, no one is taking any "action" adverse to LGBTs here, just expressing opinions albeit obliquely with humor.

"impaired people"

Take it up with the manufacturer, who is probably insulted at your insinuation you know His plan better than He does.

"Remember that declarations of "gay pride" are supposed to insulate you from any jibes."

The same way, of course, declaring "black power" more than makes up for racists like our resident KuKluxKlown.

One particularly excellent aspect is, even if California chooses to take a step backwards, this marriage will never be annulled.
