18.01.2022 On May 4, 2021, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to grant city landmark status to the home of lesbian activists Phyllis Lyon and Del Mar...tin. Del and Phyllis purchased the home together in 1955, the same year they co-founded the Daughters of Bilitis (DOB). They lived there together until Del’s death in 2008. Phyllis passed away in their 651 Duncan St. home last year. Imani Rupert-Gordon, Executive Director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) said: NCLR is thrilled to see the longtime residence of lesbian icons Del Martin & Phyllis Lyon receive the historic designation it deserves, making it the first landmark on the West Coast with a lesbian focus. From the more than 50 years of devoted partnership that Phyllis & Del shared in that home, to meetings of key leaders in the LGBTQ movement from the 1950s through marriage equality, their Noe Valley home played a pivotal role in both the lesbian rights and the broader LGBTQ rights movement for many years. It is inspiring to see that history preserved for future generations and to know that their legacy will live on. To learn more about these amazing lesbians, you can watch my film No Secret Anymore: The Times of Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, available on Vimeo, Kanopy, Amazon Prime and from Frameline.org.

05.01.2022 ‘Women have another option. They can aspire to be wise, not merely nice; to be competent, not merely helpful; to be strong, not merely graceful; to be ambitious... for themselves, not merely for themselves in relation to men and children. They can let themselves age naturally and without embarrassment, actively protesting and disobeying the conventions that stem from this society’s double standard about aging. Instead of being girls, girls as long as possible, who then age humiliatingly into middle-aged women, they can become women much earlier and remain active adults, enjoying the long, erotic career of which women are capable, far longer. Women should allow their faces to show the lives they have lived. Women should tell the truth.’ Susan Sontag - The Double Standard of Aging (1972) Annie Leibovitz - portrait of Susan Sontag.
