She is openly lesbian, and often attends company family events with her partner, Melony, a 41 year-old African American social worker. Margorie and Melony have been together for more than 12 years and begin making plans for their wedding after the U.S. Supreme Court decision supporting marriage equality is issued. When Margorie mentions wedding planning and shows her engagement ring to a coworker, however, the atmosphere at work changes. Several coworkers seem noticeably cool, and Margorie’s supervisor tells her that there has been a complaint about her flaunting her lesbianism by showing off engagement photos and her ring. She decides to say nothing, but her anxiety and depression over the issue become serious enough to interfere with her performance. When she receives her first negative employee evaluation, she is devastated and decides, at Melony’s suggestion, to see a therapist.
