    I was poor as fuck. I couldn’t afford insurance, and I could barely afford rent. I don’t even know what I’d do if I earned 55k a year. That’s unfathomable to me.

    I had to pass six written tests and a practical to serve tables, though. I had been not rehired because my employer learned I was gay, so I did what I had to do to stay with my now-husband.
