Del Martin, a prominent American lesbian rights activist who recently married her long time partner in June on the first day that same-sex couples gained that right, has died. She was 87 years old. Martin, in the role of a journalist, author and organizer, will be remembered for shaping modern day lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender movements.

 

The news of her death was confirmed by the executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Kate Kendell. It was informed that Del Martin passed away on Wednesday, August 27, after a broken arm two weeks ago worsened her health problems. Wife Phyllis Lyon was by her side, Kendell said.
