Edie Windsor, Whose Same-Sex Marriage Fight Led to Landmark Ruling, Is Dead at 88

Sorry to hear about the passing of Edie Windsor, who I had the pleasure of meeting accosting in 2013. The New York Times has a beautiful obituary, which explains how her simple wish for equal treatment under the law after her partner of more than 45 years died helped pave the way to marriage equality for us all. RIP. Read HERE.

Anthony Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, issued the following statement:

“Today, we lost one of this country’s great civil rights pioneers, Edie Windsor. The wheels of progress turn forward because of people like Edie who are willing to stand up in the face of injustice.

“One simply cannot write the history of the gay rights movement without reserving immense credit and gratitude for Edie Windsor. We were proud to stand with Edie when she took her fight on behalf of same-sex couples everywhere to the Supreme Court.

“We mourn her today, as do all whom she touched in her incredible life. Edie always urged others not to ‘postpone joy.’ So even as we mourn this terrible loss, we also celebrate Edie, who set an example for all of us to follow.”

Here Come the Brides

While I'm naturally thrilled that 87-year-old gay-rights icon Edie Windsor has found happiness -- she married Judith Kasen, 51, whom she first agreed to get to know less than one year ago -- there's still that uptight mother in me that says: Can't people just see each other anymore? Read all about the whirlwind romance HERE. (Was that crack about people only wanting pictures about me?!) 

Save the Date

This one sounds good.

Windsor, Not

 No, Edie Windsor isn't dead. But the New York Daily News sure did a bad job on this home-page teaser. How much you wanna bet they thought the real Storme DeLarverie was a man? Read about the late activist HERE.

Edie Windsor Wins My Person of the Year Award

With a list that includes Ted Cruz, Bashar Assad and Miley Cyrus, it's a pretty shallow field for Time's Person of the Year award. Tne new pope has definitely given us hope, but my vote is for Edie Windsor, who took what should have been her golden years and turned them into the busiest and most meaningful part of her life, creating a legacy that will help millions of LGBT people for centuries to come.

Via HERE:

Here are the final ten contenders for TIME’s Person of the Year (listed alphabetically):

Bashar Assad, President of Syria

Jeff Bezos, Amazon Founder

Ted Cruz, Texas Senator

Miley Cyrus, Singer

Pope Francis, Leader of the Catholic Church

Barack Obama, President of the United States

Hassan Rouhani, President of Iran

Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services

Edward Snowden, N.S.A. Leaker

Edith Windsor, Gay rights activist

Edie Windsor Honored at PFLAG Gala in NYC

I all but had to hold her down to get her to pose for this!

Had the privilege and extreme pleasure of meeting Edie Windsor at the Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) awards dinner last night in Tribeca, where she was given the "Stay Close" Individual Leadership Award for her historic role as lead plaintiff in the case that brought down the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. Windsor is well into her 80s, but is as fesity a broad as you'll ever meet -- love the New Yawk accent! -- and had the house in tears with her sweet acceptance speech in which she recalled her late spouse, Thea Spyer. 

Young playwright Daniel Pearle took home the "Stay Close" Entertainment Leadership Award -- and here I thought he was a behaded WSJ reporter -- and producer Daryl Roth received the "Stay Close" Family Leadership Award, which was fittingly given to her by her gay son. (He was a hoot -- and his recent marriage is now fully legal thanks to Edie.) David Hyde Pierce made a great master of ceremonies, with personal stories about his partner of 25 years and then moving the "lunch with Edie" from the silent auction table to the main stage (he got $25,000 from someone!). Later, Harriet Harris had the crowd in hysterics by performing "Where Did I Go Wrong?" -- as the mother of a gay son -- from the upcoming show "It Shoulda Been You." A fabulous night for a great cause. Many thanks to lead sponsor JetBlue for its involvement in the cause as well as including me in the festivities.
