Marriage Equality

When I attended Pride years ago, the question "Now that we have marriage equality, what would you like to fight for?" Was posed pretty frequently by individuals and booths. When I would reply "But we don't have marriage equality in america, we didn't gain that when we gained the right to gay marriage". I became more and more frustrated throughout the day, as more and more people asked this, but nobody knew what in the world I was talking about.

In a country where child marriage is legal in 33 states, and people on permanent disability cannot get married without losing the benefits keeping them alive we do not have equality.

Has this language changed? Or would I still have to explain to people why I don't have the same legal rights as them?

Thank you for your time
