Go Edie!
Edie Windsor is a gay activist, a tough broad, one-half of a 42-year love affair, and at age 83, a total sex kitten.
As plaintiff, she is leading the fight, to be heard this year in the Supreme Court against DOMA. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/31/edie-windsor-doma-plainti_n_2388292.html
I had the great fortune of hearing Edie speak at the Gay Film Fest this year. Then I watched the documentary "Edie and Thea: a Very Long Engagement." If you haven't seen it, run, don't walk (it's on netflix).
She and Thea had one of the great loves. You can see so clearly in the movie, it wasn't all "candy and roses," as Mary J. Blige would say. In fact, their dedication to each other was fueled--especially at the end--by incredible self-sacrifice and perpetual kindness in the face of adversity.
What a great lady--go Edie!
