Equality of rights means that some people cannot simply impose obligations on others for the moral agency and rights of those others would then be violated.

As an actor you just want to work and then you just want to be on a show or have a job that you love and you hope that job will last - those things have happened. To have that platform to then talk about something that is very personal to me like marriage equality it feels like a gift. I try and really respect that voice and not abuse it.

I would point out that Japan's proposal at the Versailles Peace Conference on the principle of racial equality was rejected by delegates such as those from Britain and the United States.

How are men to be secured in any rights without instruction how to be secured in the equal exercise of those rights without equality of instruction? By instruction understand me to mean knowledge - just knowledge not talent not genius not inventive mental powers.

The rights of one sex political and otherwise are the same as those of the other sex and this equality of rights ought to be fully recognized.

Elections are also about the future - the pledges that we are making for this country. For those who care about equality and fairness in the UK and beyond Labour really is the only choice.

Our goals for this nation must be nothing less than to double the size of our economy and bring prosperity and jobs ownership and equality of opportunity to all Americans especially those living in our nation's pockets of poverty.

I believe there is complete equality between men and women. And I believe those passages in the New Testament not by Jesus but by Paul that say women should not adorn themselves they should always wear hats or color their hair in church - things like that - I think they are signs of the times and should not apply to modern-day life.

The land is ours. It's not European and we have taken it we have given it to the rightful people... Those of white extraction who happen to be in the country and are farming are welcome to do so but they must do so on the basis of equality.
