Comedy Central's Drunk History has turned its blurry gaze to the love story of Edith "Edie" Windsor and her wife, Thea Spyer, and the fight for marriage equality in the United States.

Windsor’s challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act, after Spyer's death, came as a result of the federal government taxing her on inheritance as it did not recognize the couple's marriage, which took place in Canada in 2007. Her case made it to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled, in 2013, that Section 3 of DOMA was unconstitutional "as a deprivation of the liberty of the person protected by the Fifth Amendment." That set the stage for a later ruling nullifying all bans on same-sex marriage nationwide, fully legalizing marriage equality.

Windsor shows her love for her supporters as she leaves the Supreme Court Wednesday March 27, 2013 in Washington, D.C.

Alison Rich and Kirby Howell-Baptiste narrate the episode, between sips of their cocktails, with Sugar Lyn Beard playing Windsor and Alison Brie playing Spyer.

"When push came to shove, being who they were was revolutionary," Rich told The Advocate. "In this day and age, I think it's really great that people are being more motivated to get more active politically, but it can also be super overwhelming. Knowing that taking the small step of being who you are, maybe not to the whole world but to your family or on your micro-level can make a lot of change."

Rich added that she stands in solidarity with her LGBTQ loved ones, who she called brave, and noted "it's easy to think these battles are done and won and there's no more work to do, but at this cultural moment we're seeing more than ever, like with what happened to Jussie Smollett, there's still work to be done."

"An anniversary like Stonewall is a reminder that we can't get complacent. These rights are so important, and not everybody agrees with that. We need to keep celebrating these moments."

"We need to know about her," show creator Derek Waters told reporters at a Comedy Central press event.

"We need to know what they went through to fight for gay marriage, and how important it is. No matter what race or sex you are, this is really important. It's love. Let people be in love. If you don't, we're done."

Windsor passed away in 2017, at the age of 88.

The show previously tackled the Stonewall Riots, with an episode that originally aired in 2016.
