Holy shit today's the Obergefell v. Hodges decision anniversary.
Two things I want to say:
1- Gay people have had the right on a national level to gay marry for... eight years. This is something worth celebrating.
HOWEVER...
2- Disabled people cannot marry freely of any gender. If you marry, your income becomes joint, and you are at risk of losing your Stipend.
Louder for the people in back:
I CANNOT marry anyone, whether I love them or not, because I WILL lose my disability stipend.

if you're gonna argue with me about how the fact I can't marry is OK actually.
