K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck ama y\u0131lmaz bir isim olan Edith Windsor, 1929’da do\u011fdu. E\u015fcinsel haklar\u0131 aktivisti olarak yolculu\u011fu bir a\u015fk hikayesiyle ba\u015flad\u0131. 1960’larda New York’ta bir bilgisayar programc\u0131s\u0131 olarak \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131rken klinik psikolog Thea Spyer ile tan\u0131\u015ft\u0131. A\u015fklar\u0131, toplumsal normlar\u0131n e\u015fcinsel ili\u015fkileri ho\u015f kar\u015f\u0131lamad\u0131\u011f\u0131 bir zamanda filizlendi.<\/p>\n\n
1969 Stonewall Ayaklanmalar\u0131 Windsor ve Spyer i\u00e7in bir d\u00f6n\u00fcm noktas\u0131 oldu. G\u00f6lgelerden \u00e7\u0131karak gurur y\u00fcr\u00fcy\u00fc\u015flerine kat\u0131ld\u0131lar ve LGBTQ \u00f6rg\u00fctlerine kat\u0131ld\u0131lar. Windsor, 1975’te IBM’den erken emekli olarak hayat\u0131n\u0131 e\u015fcinsel haklar\u0131 aktivizmine adad\u0131.<\/p>\n\n
1977’de Spyer’a multipl skleroz te\u015fhisi kondu. Sa\u011fl\u0131\u011f\u0131 k\u00f6t\u00fcle\u015fince 2007’de evlenmek i\u00e7in Kanada’n\u0131n Toronto kentine gitmeye karar verdiler. Ancak Spyer k\u0131sa bir s\u00fcre sonra vefat etti\u011finde Windsor y\u0131k\u0131c\u0131 bir darbeyle kar\u015f\u0131la\u015ft\u0131. Bir erkekle evli olsayd\u0131 \u00f6demek zorunda kalmayaca\u011f\u0131 363.000 dolarl\u0131k federal vergi \u00f6demesi gerekiyordu.<\/p>\n\n
Bu adaletsizlik, Windsor’u e\u015fcinsel \u00e7iftlere e\u015f olarak federal tan\u0131may\u0131 reddeden bir yasa olan Evlilik Savunmas\u0131 Yasas\u0131’na (DOMA) meydan okumaya y\u00f6neltti. 2013 y\u0131l\u0131nda Y\u00fcksek Mahkeme onun lehine karar vererek DOMA’y\u0131 LGBTQ haklar\u0131 i\u00e7in d\u00f6n\u00fcm noktas\u0131 niteli\u011finde bir zaferle iptal etti.<\/p>\n\n
DOMA karar\u0131 e\u015fcinsel evlili\u011fe anayasal bir hak tan\u0131masa da, 2015 y\u0131l\u0131nda Y\u00fcksek Mahkeme’nin \u00fclke \u00e7ap\u0131nda e\u015fcinsel evlilikleri yasalla\u015ft\u0131ran karar\u0131na giden yolu a\u00e7t\u0131. Windsor’un y\u0131lmaz savunuculu\u011fu bu tarihi ba\u015far\u0131da \u00e7ok \u00f6nemli bir rol oynad\u0131.<\/p>\n\n
Windsor’un etkisi mahkeme salonunun \u00e7ok \u00f6tesine uzand\u0131. LGBTQ toplulu\u011fu i\u00e7in bir umut ve ilham sembol\u00fc haline geldi. Ba\u015fkan Barack Obama, DOMA karar\u0131 i\u00e7in onu tebrik etti ve 2013 y\u0131l\u0131nda TIME dergisinin “Y\u0131l\u0131n Ki\u015fisi” se\u00e7imlerinde ikinci oldu.<\/p>\n\n
Windsor’un Spyer’la evlili\u011fi, sevgiye ve e\u015fitli\u011fe olan sars\u0131lmaz ba\u011fl\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131n kan\u0131t\u0131yd\u0131. Dayan\u0131kl\u0131l\u0131k ve aktivizm hikayeleri say\u0131s\u0131z ki\u015fiye ilham vermeye devam ediyor. Son y\u0131llar\u0131nda Windsor, ald\u0131\u011f\u0131 destek dalgas\u0131na minnettarl\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 dile getirdi: “E\u015fcinsel toplulukla bir a\u015fk ya\u015fad\u0131m. Bir milyon mektup ald\u0131m. Thea’n\u0131n \u00e7ok ho\u015funa giderdi diye d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcyorum.”<\/p>\n\n
Edith Windsor’un LGBTQ haklar\u0131 hareketine katk\u0131lar\u0131 \u00f6l\u00e7\u00fclemez. DOMA’ya kar\u015f\u0131 verdi\u011fi hukuk m\u00fccadelesi, e\u015fcinsel evlili\u011fi savunuculu\u011fu ve y\u0131lmaz ruhu, gelecek nesillere ilham vermeye devam edecek kal\u0131c\u0131 bir miras b\u0131rakt\u0131.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
