On Tuesday, February 7, a federal appeals court determined California’s Proposition 8 (ban of gay marriage) was unconstitutional, but the judges did not go so far as to say gays have a constitutional right to marry. This issue will likely go to the Supreme Court.

Wolf Prints staff members asked PR students – where do you stand on this issue? According to a poll of 200 students during their free periods on Friday, February 10, 74% of PR students support gay marriage. 

Here are some of the comments students wrote to explain their positions:

CON
“It is wrong!”
“It says in the Bible that it’s bad.”
“It’s wrong.”
“As a conservative, I don’t like change.”

PRO
“In my opinion, everyone should have the right to marry whomever they choose and receive the rights from being married as well.”
“I support a world where people can do what they want to do.”
“Hey man, love is love to me. If you’re happy, then who am I to judge?”
“In a country that represents freedom and progress, it’s about time we include this in our legislation.”
“I’m not gay, but I believe that gay communities are losing their rights. I believe that people should never be discriminated because of what they believe in.”
“If the church won’t let them, at least let them marry through the legal system.”
