Thanks, John Oliver, but I really wish we didn't have to turn to comedians to publicize such serious issues.

I can never marry my partner without her losing all the benefits she needs to function. I worry about us getting separated in old age because we're not legally married, like being sent to different homes, or her ending up in a home and me ending up on the street. Ugh.

Also, changing that was one of Biden's campaign promises that everyone forgot about apparently. It seems mostly wiped from the internet, too, except for a few references from news articles around the time.
