Quote

We should all consider each other as human beings, and we should respect each other.

We should be tolerant, fair, open, and we should understand the rights that all people have in our society.

One thing is clear to me: We, as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves.

We come in many different shapes and sizes, and we need to support each other and our differences. Our beauty is in our differences.

I think every person has their own identity and beauty. Everyone being different is what is really beautiful. If we were all the same, it would be boring.

I think people should be authentic and who they are. If that calls people to same-sex attraction and same-sex marriage, then they should be true to who they are, and I think that the world could benefit by more love.

What we all have in common is an appreciation of kindness and compassion; all the religions have this. We all lean towards love.

I think tolerance and acceptance and love is something that feeds every community.

Together, we can build the kind of world in which we all seek to live, one of universal equality and justice.

Our uniqueness, our individuality, and our life experience molds us into fascinating beings. I hope we can embrace that. I pray we may all challenge ourselves to delve into the deepest resources of our hearts to cultivate an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, tolerance, and compassion. We are all in this life together.
