As I type this, the Supreme Court is reviewing a case about whether it should be legal to fire someone if they're gay...As those who would dismantle our rights repeatedly run the protections back on my marriage, it occurs to me that I can't cope with finding out that there's no such thing as precedent. That my family could cease to be protected under the law. I'm not going to sugarcoat it: this is what it means to be an LGBTQ American citizen today.
