We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. It is time now to write the next chapter - and to write it in the books of law.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The idea of equal rights was in the air.
We are all human beings and I believe that we all should have equal rights.
We need to fight for the equal rights of citizens.
I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.
This country was founded on a promise of equal rights for all, and we have always managed to move closer to that promise, little by little, one day at a time. It may not be easy - but we'll get there together.
The whole idea of equal justice under law means that you've got to play by the rules. It has nothing to do with the underlying subject matter. You just tell the truth.
We have so much discrimination in this world - colour, race, creed, all of these things - and there is an issue here that the right of marriage in the civil law is not extended to same-sex couples.
The demand for equal rights in every vocation of life is just and fair; but, after all, the most vital right is the right to love and be loved.
We are all equal, rich and poor, and we need a society where the people enjoy their rights.
We are not supposed to be all equal. Let's just forget that. We are supposed to have equal rights under law. If we do that, we have done enough.
