Robin Tyler and Diane Olson made history when, at 5:01 p.m. June 16, they became the first same-sex couple to say "I do" in Los Angeles County.
The sun was still shining in the sky when longtime lesbian activist Robin Tyler wed Diane Olson, her partner of 15 years, on the steps of the Beverly Hills courthouse at 5:01 p.m. on June 16.

Gloria Allred amid a frenzy of camera crews, reporters, and well-wishers. Olson and Tyler's attorney showed her feisty spirit by taking on protesters after the ceremony.

Rabbi Denise Eger of West Hollywood's Kol Ami Synagogue, one of the leading pro-gay synagogues in the Los Angeles area, performed the ceremony. “Great floods cannot dampen your love,” Eger proclaimed. “Your courage brought you here today.”

Glad to see he's there with all of his "evidence." Just don't don't block the flowers, mmm-kay?
