Congratulations to Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin who will become one of the first same-sex married couples in California later today. The state supreme court decision takes place at 5pm Pacific time, and some clerks offices are staying open late for the occasion. Lyon and Martin will, fittingly after more than half a century together as activists and San Francisco luminaries, be the first San Franciscans to get married.

It’s wonderful to see people happy when discrimination falls.
