You know what I've heard over the years again and again? Always from people not experiencing this...

"Well technically you're able to marry, so this is not an issue of equality."

#LetUsMarry

What choice is there between 'get married' OR 'access lifesaving services/supports'?

If those are your options you obviously have to choose to stay alive. That means the choice of marriage is not a choice,
at all.

We like to say that inequality only happens as inequality of the law. We don't talk about how other regulations can affect things in harmful ways as well.

Equality is about having access to rights that everyone else has the right to, as well. We cannot deny that marriage is a right. Justice Kennedy wrote that in the decision that gave LGBTQIA people the right to marry.

If there are obstacles preventing disabled people or anyone really from having access to this right, it is very much a lack of equal access to marriage. This means it is an issue of inequality. There are barriers in the way of marrying, and barriers to accessing this right.

I just don't understand how people are unable to see how clearly this is a case of inequality. I also don't understand how this response is helpful or wanted. So you don't understand what's going on? Why are you commenting on it? It's not helpful.

Instead of people showing solidarity and support, they question whether this is a legitimate issue. Do you have the right to marry? If your answer is yes but you're not sure if this is an issue of equality, you have a sense of privilege obscuring your understanding of this issue.

Everybody deserves the right to marry if they want to. Any barriers to that are nothing more than an aid to injustice.
