ABSTRACT
Del Martin is determined, positive, combative, loving and caring, a stubborn Taurus, always right but also ready to admit if she is wrong. An activist and lifelong Democrat, first energized by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, she is passionate about human rights and politics and a rabid champion who insists that the lesbian's place in history be written as it happened, not as some men have assumed it happened. Growing old has not changed her. She has continued to fight for new causes, not sitting back and waiting for others to act. She's Del Martin, and she has been the love of my life for the almostfifty years we have been together.
