A sweet graphic memoir/comment on marriage equality - a little "we're basically old marrieds anyway" + "do we need this institution - yes <3" + "people are trying to take away our rights". Loved the art and color palette.

Autobiographical GN about the author's choice to get married to his husband.
Like many folx, they got married largely for medical benefit reasons (once gay marriage was legal, their places of employment shut down domestic partnership benefits*).
There is a cloud looming over the story that gay marriage may stop being legal at some point, so this may be a brief opportunity for them.
Semi-anecdotal. Sweet little romantic warm fuzzy stories about this specific couple. Covers some of the larger context and history around gay marriage. They acknowledge their White and class privilege.
Mostly black on white line drawing, but touches of color in an interesting way.
Pretty sure I read it in one sitting.
*Medical benefits are the biggest reason I'm not married, fwiw.
