Genora Dancel, left, and Ninia Baehr appeared in this photograph in the June 29, 1995, issue of the Park Labrea News and Beverly Press and the accompanying article about same-sex marriage during Pride Month. They had appeared before the West Hollywood City Council, which passed a resolution that June in support of same-sex marriage, becoming the first city in the United States to do so. In 1991, Dancel and Baehr were among three couples who filed a lawsuit against the state of Hawaii and later won the case, widely considered the first in the nation granting same-sex couples the right to marry. It ignited a nationwide movement and decades-long battle for marriage equality, which culminated with the United States Supreme Court affirming the right for same-sex couples to marry in 2015.
