Dare Quote by Barbra Streisand
“You know, for me, the realization that two people should have the right to form a sacred union regardless of their gender was strengthened when I saw a performance of the play The Normal Heart in 1985. After feeling the love those two men had for each other, I dare anybody not to want them to get married by the end.”

![“Right now the institution of marriage feels very one-sided, and I want to live in a country where we all have equal rights. I have so many friends who are gays and lesbians who would so badly want to get married, that I wouldn't be able to sleep with myself [if I got married before they could].” quote by Charlize Theron](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e86/charlize-theron-1430_able_right-now-the-institution-of-marriage-fe_1161760.jpg)
