Phyllis Lyon, left, and her partner Del Martin, right, will be one of the first two couples married in California on Monday, June 16. Martin, 87, and Lyon, 84, have been together for more than 50 years.
'Because I am nearly 80 and Del already is in her 80s, we both are rather anxious about what will happen to the other when one of us dies or becomes serious ill,' Phyllis Lyon said in a written statement in the lawsuit successfully challenging California's gay marriage ban.
Phyllis Lyon, and Del Martin, were plaintiffs in the California Supreme Court case that led to the legalization of gay marriage. In a written statement filed in the lawsuit, Lyon wrote, '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.'
