“Let us remember we are all part of one American family. We are united ...” — Barack Obama Quote

“Let us remember we are all part of one American family. We are united in common values, and that includes belief in equality under the law, basic respect for public order, and the right of peaceful protest.”

“If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress.”

“And we have done more in the two and a half years that I've been in here than the previous 43 Presidents to uphold that principle, whether it's ending 'don't ask, don't tell,' making sure that gay and lesbian partners can visit each other in hospitals, making sure that federal benefits can be provided to same-sex couples.”

“I think that we've made a lot of progress in the years since the Stonewall uprising, and as far as equality for marriage and things like that go.”

“As soon as man enters into a state of society he loses the sense of his weakness; equality ceases, and then commences the state of war.”

“Marriage equality is not a choice. It is a legal right.”
