"When people are in love, I don't see anything wrong with it in the world. If they choose to live their lives and get married, why should we interfere? A lot of people don't agree with me, but that's how I feel"
About this Quote
The intent is deceptively simple: normalize choice. She frames marriage not as a sacred institution guarded by gatekeepers, but as a personal decision made by adults trying to build a life. The subtext is a rebuke to the reflex that turns private intimacy into a public referendum. “A lot of people don’t agree with me” isn’t an apology; it’s a quiet inventory of the social costs of saying this out loud, especially in eras when debates over LGBTQ+ rights and nontraditional relationships were routinely packaged as “protecting values.” She’s naming the majority pressure without letting it set the terms.
What makes the quote work is its refusal to sensationalize. It sidesteps the culture-war vocabulary that invites argument and instead uses a conversational, almost neighborly ethic: let people be. In celebrity culture, where love is content and marriage is branding, Jackson’s stance is oddly radical: stop treating other people’s commitments as community property.
