Edie Windsor sued the government after the death of her wife Thea, demanding the United States Government to recognize the validity of her marriage. On June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Edie Windsor, and the Defense Of Marriage Act (or DOMA) was ruled unconstitutional.
Thank you Edie and all of the activists in our LGBTQ family for fighting or equality!

Last week, our host Eric Marcus received an award from the Oral History Association. Here’s a photo with an MGH fan, Karen Wisely, a graduate student from the University of North Texas. The second photo is the award which reads: “2017 Oral History in a Nonprint Format Award for outstanding use of oral history is presented to Making Gay History, Eric Marcus, creator and host.” .
While you’re waiting for Season 3 of the podcast… A Sylvia Rivera Encore. Sylvia Rivera would have loved knowing that in the years since her death in 2002 she’s become an icon—a symbol of LGBTQ people fighting back against police repression and fighting for respect and equal rights.
