YSK There are approximately 1100 laws that benefit marriage.
Why YSK: This is important to know because a lot of people don't realize these benefits and how much it hurts people who don't have them. Even some people who consider themselves progressive might scoff at the idea of all of these groups getting the same benefits.
There are more than 1,100 Federal US laws that benefit marriage. It goes without saying that all consenting adults should be able to get those benefits. However the problem also comes when very close friends, queer relationships, asexual/platonic partners, polyamorous relationships, widows etc should have and need the same benefits but are often left out in the rain because of all of the outdated laws and language based off the assumption of amatonormative relationships.
