Television personality Rachel Maddow wishes activist Phyllis Lyon happy birthday and talks about meeting long-time LGBT rights activists Phyllis and Del Martin for the first time while in college at Stanford. She also explains how that experience changed her perspective on being out and fighting for equal rights.

Phyllis’ “Big Birthday Bash” at the San Francisco LGBT Center was sponsored by Lyon-Martin Health Services, which provides personalized healthcare and support services to women and transgender people who lack access to quality care because of their sexual or gender identity, regardless of their ability to pay.

Happy birthday, Phyllis! Find out more information from Lyon-Martin Women’s Health Services.
