How did the community respond to the relationship between Lillian Anderson and Marian Cardozo?

The community on the Vineyard responded in a unique way to Lillian and Marian's relationship. Despite being a very small, close-knit community where different lifestyles might have faced challenges, their relationship was met with acceptance. Dolores Porza, their daughter, explains that by simply living authentically the way they wanted to, Lillian and Marian actually inspired others in the community to do the same. Their genuine commitment to each other over their 50+ years together served as a powerful example that influenced the small Vineyard community's attitudes toward love that transcended conventional norms.
