Homesexuelle Hochzeit / Gay Marriage Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Homesexuelle Hochzeit / Gay Marriage:

Obama sees himself as such a huge change that he can be cautious about other societal changes. But what he doesn't realize is that legalizing gay marriage is like electing a black president. Before you do it, it seems inconceivable. Once it's done, you can't remember what all the fuss was about. Maureen Dowd

If bigots oppose gay marriage so vehemently, it must be because marriage is a defining institution for them; gays will never be fully accepted until they can marry and adopt, like anyone else.

Edmund White

I support gay marriage. I believe they have a right to be as miserable as the rest of us.

Kinky Friedman

The death of anti-gay hate speech is no doubt being hastened by the head-spinning speed with which gays as a group - to say nothing of gay marriage - are becoming an unremarkable and even quite traditional parts of American life.

Jeffrey Kluger

I support gay marriage. I support gay marriage because I believe Conservatives support the institutions of commitment.

George Osborne

Most Americans don't care about gay marriage.

Dan Savage

Originally, I was against gay marriage because I was opposed to all marriage, being an old-fashioned gay bohemian. The straight people I knew in the sixties were very much opposed to it. I was, too, and it was never a possibility for gays, but when I saw how opposed the Religious Right was to it, I thought it a fight worth fighting.

Edmund White

Gay marriage won't be more of an issue 25 years from now than interracial marriage is today.

Jared Polis

Do the bishops seriously imagine that legalising gay marriage will result in thousands of parties to heterosexual marriages suddenly deciding to get divorced so they can marry a person of the same sex?

Malcolm Turnbull

I'm 58 years old. I got married for the first time - it's about time, right? Growing up as a gay woman, you just don't ever think about that, and then I thought, about 10 years ago, 'You know, I think within 10 years gay marriage will be legal.' And here we are, 10 years later, making it legal.

Martina Navratilova

I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them.

Barack Obama

I feel strongly for gay marriage to be accepted.

Bernadette Peters

Public-opinion polls show that Americans split about evenly on civil unions. But when the words 'gay marriage' are presented, they break 3-to-1 against it.

Dick Morris

I have close family members as well as lots of close friends who are gay. Many of them strongly support gay marriage.

Tony Abbott

Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden between Adam and Eve. One man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don't think anyone else should either. So do I support the idea of gay marriage? No, I don't.

Kirk Cameron

I think there is a generation gap. I personally look forward to, as our generation becomes the leaders, you are gonna see a change, and I think hopefully gay marriage will be a part of that country.

Vanessa Kerry

No candidate can win a presidential race advocating gay marriage and opposing the military action in Iraq.

Dick Morris

Anyone who watched George W. and Karl Rove while the former was governor of Texas will recognize a familiar pattern. Like much of Bush's social policy - from faith-based social services to railing against gay marriage - women's issues are one of the bones they've decided they can throw to the Christian right.

Molly Ivins

I'm completely comfortable with gay marriage.

Elizabeth Edwards

If your neighbor has a completely different view on abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, all of those things, you still are both Americans. Neither one of you is necessarily more patriotic than the other. Neither loves their country any more than the other one does.

Phil McGraw

I'm for gay marriage, because I'm for gay divorce.

Melissa Etheridge

The battle going on over gay marriage in America reveals an awful lot. The Bible belt - people hate gay people. Because the Bible tells them? No, the Bible tells them an awful lot of things that they ignore.

Ian Mckellen

I have never been in favor of gay marriage, and I am not in favor of gay marriage.

Pete Gallego

It's like, 'Oh, well of course you want gay marriage, you're gay.' I think when heterosexual people are talking to their peers and they're like, 'This is an equal rights thing,' it's a little bit easier.

Jillian Michaels

I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

I don't have to get married myself in order to campaign on behalf of gay marriage.

Edmund White

Gay marriage will be universally accepted in time. But if I may be so bold as to say to gays and lesbians, don't wait for that time to arrive. Just as my father and his generation did not 'wait' for their civil rights, nor should you. The toothpaste ain't going back in the tube. The tide has turned.

John Ridley

Gay marriage has jumped out of the closet on to the front page. Everyone from the president of the U.S. to retired four-star general Colin Powell is embracing the issue, now supported by most Americans. Still, a few people, like former First Lady Laura Bush appear to be conflicted.

Kitty Kelley

Well, marriage doesn't function in the way it used to in terms of deciding our fate, but it's in our heads, and it determines a lot of our actions. Like, right now, if you think about gay marriage - and they just started having the first gay marriages in New York - it shows what a potent idea marriage remains for people.

Jeffrey Eugenides

I'm an activist for gay marriage equality and children's rights. I'm the face of Share Our Strength.

Sandra Lee

I don't understand what the big deal is with gay marriage. Get over it, people.

Kristin Chenoweth

You can't wake up one day and say 'I'm for gay marriage,' and wake up the next day and say 'I'm against it.' Wake up one day and say, 'I'm pro-choice,' and the next day wake up and say, 'I'm pro-life.' There's no credibility there.

Roger Stone

I'm an advocate for gay marriage. I have more gay friends than Carter has pills.

Patti Stanger

To me, marriage is really important and what we build families on. That's why gay marriage is really important.

Margaret Cho

I think gay marriage should be the national law.

Rose McGowan

I cannot be a placard waver for every campaign; that's why I have mostly kept quiet about gay marriage.

Clare Balding

People should be allowed to marry, and gay marriage should be out there. If a man or a woman has a good partner and they love each other with their heart and soul, let them marry. I am very much for gay marriage.

Pierce Brosnan
