Everybody has the right to marry the person they love and be represented as a couple and family... It's something that people will look back on in years to come and say, 'I can't believe it took so long for us to recognize this.' It'll be like segregation and giving women the right to vote.
Interpretation
Everyone should have the freedom to marry whom they love, and society will eventually realize this equality was overdue.
Julianne Moore's quote emphasizes the fundamental right of individuals to marry the person they love, likening the struggle for love and marriage equality to past social justice movements such as the abolition of segregation and women's suffrage. It reflects a hope that future generations will look back in disbelief at how long it took society to recognize and normalize this right, highlighting the importance of love and equality in relationships.
In practice
Using this quote in a speech advocating for marriage equality.
I moved frequently because my dad was in the army, so I was always new in school. I think if you've ever done that, you know what it means to not matter in a room. I think it's a good experience for everyone to have, to feel like they're not noticed, because it teaches you to be empathetic.
People with Alzheimer's deserve to be seen, so that we can find a cure!
When I was younger, I thought I had to shut myself off, work really hard to cry. I learned after a while that that's just not... You know, often in life, you cry when you're caught off-guard. That's where I need to be when I'm acting, too.
I'm not scared of many things in front of the camera. Everywhere else, yes, I'm terrified. But acting is just pretending, and you are exploring feelings in a safe environment.
I think imperfections are important, just as mistakes are important. You only get to be good by making mistakes, and you only get to be real by being imperfect.
We're [parents]) always bluffing, pretending we know best, when most of the time we're just praying we won't screw up too badly.
The married state, with and without the affection suitable to it, is the completest image of heaven and hell we are capable of receiving in this life.
Empathy is like a universal solvent. Any problem immersed in empathy becomes soluble. It is effective as a way of anticipating and resolving interpersonal problems, whether this is a marital conflict, an international conflict, a problem at work, difficulties in a friendship, political deadlocks, a family dispute, or a problem with a neighbor.
For just as some people want a purely spiritual Christ, without flesh and without the cross, they also want their interpersonal relationships provided by sophisticated equipment, by screens and systems which can be turned on and off on command.

The source of all life and knowledge is in # man and # woman , and the source of all living is in the interchange and the meeting and mingling of these two: man-life and woman-life, man-knowledge and woman-knowledge , man-being and woman-being.
My brother Allie had this left-handed fielder's mitt. he was left handed. The thing that was descriptive about it though, was that he had poems written all over the fingers and the pocket and everywhere. In green ink.
