findchaos:aro-ace-wonderwoman:hipppocampus:meditategravitate:findchaos:(Just a Few of) The Federal Benefits of Marriage EqualityWhat we didn’t have yesterday.THIS IS WHY IT’S HUGEYou mean people didn’t used to qualify for these things?Married people qualify for these things. Which means in most states, same-sex couples do not.That’s the joke! Ha ha haHaHaHA! Ha… ha…I’m sad, now.But in all seriousness, I’m so happy this is getting around even more. I was excited when I compiled this, though I have to admit, I was a little more optimistic that it would either be 1. legal in all states by now, and/or 2. common knowledge for people. Yes, our rights are significantly less than your average person and it does indeed suck. Our state still inflicts a shitton of red tape upon K’s and my marriage, and we still don’t have basic rights. Tax season is a goddamned nightmare, and that’s the least of our worries in regards to state laws and regulations. -- source link
