Phyllis Lyon

Phyllis Lyon, born in 1924, was a trailblazing figure in the fight for civil rights in the United States until her passing in 2020. As a co-founder of the Daughters of Bilitis, she courageously established the first-ever social and political organization for lesbians in the nation. Lyon's pioneering work not only provided a platform for the LGBTQ+ community but also sparked crucial conversations about equality and justice. Her unwavering dedication and resilience serve as a beacon of inspiration for all those striving for a more inclusive and equitable society. Lyon's legacy reminds us of the profound impact individuals can have in shaping a more just world, urging us to continue the ongoing struggle for civil rights with passion and determination.
