A San Francisco supervisors panel Monday endorsed landmarking the Noe Valley home of the late pioneering lesbian couple Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin.
The decision coincided with the observance of Lesbian Visibility Day. The supervisors' land use and transportation committee unanimously voted 3-0 to recommend that the full board landmark the couple's 651 Duncan Street residence when it meets May 4.
It is set to become the first city landmark honoring lesbian history. "I knew them both and adored them," said District 3 Supervisor Aaron Peskin. "I have been to their house many, many times.
Thank you to everybody involved in landmarking it. Yeah, it's awesome." Peskin and fellow committee member District 5 Supervisor Dean Preston are
