California Gay Marriage Ban results are still not fully available, but it looks like it’s gonna win. The proposition 8, if voted in could change the constitution of California to ban gay marriages and only recognize bonds between a woman and a man as valid.

Proposition 8 came only six months after gay marriages were given green light by the California Supreme Court. Now it looks like the light may go back to red. Estimated 18,000 gay marriages took place in California since the lift of ban – first of which was between Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin aka Daughters of Bilitis and they also may be the last.

Final results have not yet been released as not all votes have been counted, but gay people who gathered in San Francisco to protest Proposition 8 hope California gay marriage ban proposition won’t become reality. Preliminary results suggest otherwise.

I’m a little bit torn on issue of gay marriages. I myself am not gay, but have many gay friends and… well, love watching lesbians. I’d be in support of gay marriages, if gay people wanted them solely because they want to be with their loved ones. However, gay marriages are all about money and collection of benefits from the government. That kind of makes the whole point of love between same sex couples diminished and whole fight for rights of gay people to marry moot.

Del Martin, one of the most famous lesbians in the world and founder of lesbian organization Daughters of Bilitis died today in San Francisco. She was 87. This sad news comes only two months after Del Martin married her lesbian girlfriend of 55 years – Phyllis Lyon.

Poor Del Martin. For 55 years she fought for rights of gay people, but she lived to see herself married to the same sex love of her life. Such a heart breaking story.

We have reported two months ago when Daughters of Bilitis Founders Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon were about to get married. The marriage was sealed on June 16 making Daughters of Bilitis the first lesbian couple to wed in California. Fast forward two months ahead and the sad news comes – Del Martin is no longer with us

According to Kate Kendell, who’s an executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Del Martin was admitted to the San Francisco hospital due to health complications which deteriorated after she broke her arm. Phyllis Lyon was by her side all the time during her last moments. RIP Del Martin.

50 year old lesbian and host of her own show on some TV station I don’t watch – Ellen DeGeneres is set to marry 35 year old hot lesbian ass Portia de Rossi aka Mandy Rogers in holy lesbian matrimony this weekend, US Magazine reports. It’s gonna be one hell of a gayelle lesbian wedding.

Now that gay couples are allowed to wed in California, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi wasted no time and got right down to it. The rumors of their upcoming wedding go as far as the Daughters of Bilitis wedding. Those two hot lesbians were the first gay couple to officially marry in California.

Only a few close friends and family are invited to attend the Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi Lesbian Wedding – I wander if any males made it on the list or if it’s just gonna be one giant lesbian orgy. I’ve been also wandering – when a pries says: “You Can Now Kiss The Bride” – which of the two gayelles will be kissed and which will give the kiss. Is Ellen DeGeneres the bride and Portia de Rossi the groom? Or is it just like – bride marrying bride? I’m confused…

Daughters of Bilitis founders Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin got married yesterday and made it officially the first gay marriage in California. After living together for 55 years, 84 year old Phyllis Lyon and 87 year old Del Martin tied the knot in San Francisco’s City Hall at 5.01pm. Congrats to the old ladies.

Below is the video of newly married Daughters of Bilitis cutting a wedding cake.

Daughters of Bilitis – widely recognized as the first lesbian organization in the US was founder in 1955 in San Francisco, California by two fine gay women Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon. When Daughters of Bilitis was established, lesbianism was deemed wrong and harmful and women “suffering” from it were routinely submitted to mental institutions and treated by electroshocks in efforts to rid them off their deviant behavior. Back then it was illegal for two women to dance with each other (this is not going berserk) and to fall in love with the same sex partner could get you fired from work or sent to jail.

Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon were a young couple and felt genuine love for each other. They begun the Daughters of Bilitis movement along with 6 other women and now, more than half a century later, the two ladies will become first married lesbian couple in San Francisco. Private ceremony will take place tomorrow in San Francisco City Hall and will be officiated by Mayor Gavin Newsom.

Phyllis Lyon is now 84 year old and Del Martin is 87. They’ve been together for 55 years – which is remarkable in this day and age for any couple when divorce rates are through the roof. What a great gift after decades of fighting for gay rights. May Daughters of Bilitis live on.
