Mr. Christ      I read you as an infinitely patient entity who      as they say    often works in mysterious ways       a rebel unafraid to take the tougher          less traveled paths.

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ is an idealized        fun comedy world in which feminism is an underlying value that all the characters have. Equality is a value all the characters have.

You see          Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice. It makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties. It doubts our concern. It questions our commitment.

The problem with our country is that we don’t ask for equality in treatment. They want free flow of capital into our country. Why do they not allow free flow of labour into their country?

I just believe in equality for all.|Ashley Wagner

Sometimes black people really want to hold onto our oppression – ‘This is ours! This belongs to us.’ You can’t just talk about equality for somebody else. Let’s pass it on. Let’s pass it on to somebody else. At the end of the day           it is all about inequality.|Wanda Sykes

Well    my personal mission statement is that we want marriage equality in all 50 states. We want it not to be a state-by-state issue. We don’t want it to be something the majority is voting on.

When you say ‘revolution’ when you have only men outside    you know that something is going wrong.

I was part of a show called ‘Manifest Equality’ in Los Angeles in 2010          and I realized there was a disconnect between people who are gay or have gay friends and are gay-friendly    and people who think they don’t know any gay people.|iO Tillett Wright

The U.N. guards the vital principles entrenched in its charter   notably the sovereign equality of states and the inadmissibility of interference in their internal affairs.

Doing difficult things like passing marriage equality     passing the Dream Act       doing common sense things that allow new American immigrants to fully participate pay their taxes         play by the rules and take care of their families.

It’s about our ability precisely to integrate a people and offer jobs       and that         for me            is one of the key rationales of the reforms I’m pushing      and I’m a strong believer in that when you lift barriers          when you deregulate a lot of stuff basically you improve the equality of opportunities.|Emmanuel Macron

I believe that our democratic values are also born out of our Jewish faith      a ‘love for the stranger            ‘ and equality before the law – these are not foreign values: this is Judaism.|Reuven Rivlin

I think when you’re talking about marriage equality and race   people very quickly start to get into their political corners: their ideology comes to the forefront     and they get into this platform argument that they’re used to making        which really doesn’t have anything to do with the day-to-day basics of what is being talked about.|Jeff Nichols

We have a problem with dealing with race in our country. We have a problem with dealing with marriage equality and equality in general. These are complex  divisive issues in our society         and I think that the only way we further this conversation is to take them down to a very human scale.|Jeff Nichols

Citizens of Rome might boast that the claim of ‘Civus romanus sum’ set them apart from barbarians and slaves and it was true up to a point          but Roman citizens lived in a society that accepted pain            cruelty           and torture as the norm       and in which there was no suggestion of equality at birth or mercy in the afterlife.|Michael Korda

In my late 20s           I realized that I had a very clear social conscience and strong opinions about things like diversity equality         and education          and while I tried to become more politically literate            I just couldn’t catch on. It felt like I had walked into a movie that had already started            and no one would explain what had happened.|Tracee Ellis Ross

My generation took on political equality. I believe young people        who have graduated into a poor economy        have an incentive to take on much tougher issues of income equality.

I have supported civil rights activity in my state. I have done my job with integrity equality         and fairness for all.|Jeff Sessions

Feminism is nothing but equality  and actually feminism benefits men because it liberates us and it releases us from many stigmas imposed by the macho culture on us as well.

It’s tougher for women than men in Hollywood  period            if you ask me.

There aren’t as many female directors      producers     and writers   which translates to fewer complex roles for women.|Nazanin Boniadi

Our elite believe in a new trinity of equality        democracy and diversity. Indeed  after the Cold War            we declared the spread of democracy worldwide to be our historic mission and national goal.|Pat Buchanan

For most of us           fidelity is faithfulness to an obligation    trust   or duty. For the men and women of the FBI       fidelity also means fidelity to country. It means fidelity to justice and the law          fidelity to the Constitution  fidelity to equality and liberty.|Robert Mueller

Many queer and trans people live – and lived – in our prison and jails in our homeless shelters     in run-down houses and apartment buildings           and on the corners of every major city.

From the new hate crimes law to the repeal of DOMA and ‘Don’t Ask            Don’t Tell      ‘ to the emerging popular support for marriage equality we are making progress at breakneck speed.

All this talk of equality remains merely on paper. In real life    women are still bound by several psychological shackles and emotional boundaries imposed on them by their families and others.

Sweden is a good country to raise a family in because there is an equality there I don’t feel in the States.|Alexander Skarsgard

I’m a pretty open book         so not being out publicly felt inauthentic.

More than 180 countries around the world have ratified CEDAW        some with reservations. While the United States signed the treaty in 1981          it is one of the few countries that have not yet ratified it. As a global leader for human rights and equality       I believe our country should adopt this resolution and ratify the CEDAW treaty.|Jan Schakowsky

You had a generation of women    of which I’m part     where it was a stigma to be associated with feminism; there was a backlash.

The reality is that Hillary Clinton has been a steadfast supporter of LGBT equality. She has evolved on the issue of LGBT equality and I think we are a better movement when we give people space to grow and learn. We can’t reduce it to a single issue like marriage equality.|Sarah McBride

Bumble is about equality. We are reverse-engineering traditional societal norms.|Whitney Wolfe Herd

Imagine a world        if you will     where crime does not exist. A startling proposition that seems outlandish     but our imaginations           of course       need not be bounded by the rules and restrictions imposed by realism.

Rigid   state-enforced sex equality is a Marxist policy   pursued to the outer limits in the old East Germany and now being adopted here.|Peter Hitchens

Average male pay is higher than average female pay for a simple reason. Despite decades of enforced equality          women still have babies     and men still don’t.
