The love of Edie Windsor and Thea Spyer challenged a world set against them. A 42-year partnership reduced to a tax bill—the cost of existing in a world where love was a political statement. Edie's fight tore down DOMA, flipping injustice into a landmark victory. In a system quick to deny and dismiss, their love became our rallying cry. We owe them our continued resistance.

RIP to my hero in life Edie WIndsor. I am so sad to see you leave this world, but I know you have found your Thea. I am so unbelievably grateful, for your bravery in front of the Supreme Court, that you led with such grace, which struck down the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013 and granted same-sex married couples federal recognition. Thank you for being such a hero and fighting the good, loving fight, that lead to marriage equality in all 50 states. Again, I am so sad to see you go. Thank you for allowing me to marry the one that I love. #theunsungheroines ⠀#ediewindsor ⠀

This week for #LGBTHistoryMonth we are honoring a pioneer in the fight for marriage equality.

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!

Edith "Edie" Windsor (née Schlain; June 20, 1929 – September 12, 2017) was an American LGBT rights activist and a technology manager at IBM. She was the lead plaintiff in the 2013 Supreme Court of the United States case United States v. Windsor, which overturned Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act and was considered a landmark legal victory for the same-sex marriage movement in the United States. The Obama Administration and federal agencies extended rights, privileges and benefits to married same-sex couples because of the decision. Windsor continued to be a public advocate for same-sex marriage in the years following United States v. Windsor. She helped Senator Dianne Feinstein and Representative Jerrold Nadler introduce the Respect for Marriage Act at a press conference in Washington, D.C. in 2011. She was also a prominent supporter of Israeli LGBT rights group A Wider Bridge. In 2013, Time Magazine named Windsor as a finalist for their Person of the Year Award, losing out only to Pope Francis. Later in life, she became an ardent supporter of New York City's largest LGBTQ+ band, the Lesbian & Gay Big Apple Corps, calling them "her band." They performed a concert called The Roaring Music of Women: A Tribute to the Iconic Edie Windsor in her honor on Saturday, April 7, 2018. -Wikipedia (artwork by @elijah.haswell) #PeopleOfPride #EdieWindsor #octoberislgbthistorymonth #lgbthistorymonth #historymonth #EliHaswell #loveislove #lgbt #lgbtq #rainbow #gay #lesbian #transgender #bisexual #pansexual #asexual #genderqueer #male #female  #love #acceptance #diversity #lovewhoyouwant #youareamazing #youarebeautiful #hernandopride #hernandoflorida https://www.instagram.com/p/B4GkWWVF-Ih/?igshid=8xlkc029fnaf

Our #wcw is #nastywoman Edie Windsor. Edie took a tax refund all the way to the Supreme Court and abolished the Defense of Marriage Act, opening the door for good ol' #ObergefellvHodges. Yesterday, we lost a tiny but mighty Civil Rights leader and #LGBT icon. We hope to continue Edie's legacy of joy, spirit, and determination. #staynasty . .
