Love is a human experience, not a political statement. Anne Hathaway

It’s actually a quote from a speech Anne Hathaway gave when she received the Human Rights Campaign’s Ally Award.

Love is a human experience, not a political statement. Although so many people are concerned with the legality of the whole issue, and liberals say this about it and conservatives say that about it…. we’ve made what is supposed to be an amazing, emotional journey with someone you care about a political debate over whether or not its morally and legally okay for you to express your love. If you disagree with gay marriage, you disagree with it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, feelings, and beliefs. But in that same sense, as you are allowed to believe that it’s wrong, others are allowed to believe it’s okay. Nothing bothers me more than people condemning others for not thinking the way they do. If you are free to believe whatever you want, why shouldn’t others enjoy that same freedom? This issue isn’t about who’s right or who’s wrong… because in regards to this issue there isn’t a right answer. Homosexuals aren’t only a heated political debate… but also real people.
