It’s federally legal, but far as I can tell, some states don’t recognize those marriages, and others outright prohibit them, although it’s not enforceable. Still fucked up, IMO.

So, in many states…

1. Can’t be homeless.
2. Can’t be dead on purpose (suicide’s illegal).
3. Can’t have an abortion.
4. Can’t marry a same-sex spouse.
5. Can’t get healthcare if you don’t have a job, and even if you can, it’s super expensive and not likely to cover everything.

So I guess, just make sure that you’re born well-to-do, never make any mistakes, and are a straight, cis-gender man. Really narrows things down and puts life into clear perspective.
