we are all aware that marriage is only one step on the road to true equality but please do not dismiss how significant the legal right to marriage is, when us federal state and marriage laws guarantee couples over 1200 different legal protections including:
hospital visitation when there’s been an accident or illness
the ability to obtain “family” health coverage
taxation and inheritance rights
their role as parent of their children and better stability in the lives of their children
even protection in case the relationship ends
marriage is a big deal. it is not the final deal. but it is something to celebrate [insert ten thousand rainbow and crying emois]
its annoying that people on tumblr are like “everyone’s mad @ marvel bc they actually cast a teenager for spiderman lol” no, we’re mad bc we already have 5 movies of peter parker w/ his origin storyline. We want miles morales, or jessica drew, or cindy moon, or anyone that’s not a white guy. its time we have an underdog that we all can relate to and not just for straight white men.
