MAN ON THE STREET

Topic: What is your opinion on the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that gay marriage is a constitutional right?

I think its okay. I’m really open to diversity. I like that everyone’s given the right, not just the regular lady and man. If it’s girl and girl, boy and boy, whatever, if they wish to do it then why not. If that’s what their heart tells them, I think, you know we should agree with it and not go against it.

It’s all about love. As long as they’re good citizens, nothing wrong about that gay marriage. I support it all the way.
Jeff Mendoza

I do identify as a lesbian, so when I woke up [with the news] I was really happy. I’m really proud. I think it’s really an important step in equality but I don’t think it’s a final step. I think there are a lot of things that we can do before it’s actually equal in the U.S.
Heidi Lochen

I don’t like it. But legally we have no choice now. I’m an old fashioned guy. I believe in man and woman joining for matrimony. Not man and man or girl and girl.
JM Guerrero

Finally. I’m glad the decision was made. It was the right decision and it should’ve been made a long time ago. It never should’ve been an issue. The separation of church and state deems marriage by the state as a legal agreement between two people and shouldn’t matter what your sex is.

I do support gay marriage because I believe, we’re all the same and love has no gender.
Russ Hocog

They’re making the world diverse, it’s great. Everyone is equal. People that like the same people are, I guess, the same as the heterosexual people. It shouldn’t be unbalanced, it should be equal.
Robert Suzuki, Jr.

I agree totally, it was a long time coming. It’s a good thing.
Tammy James

I’m happy not because I’m gay but because we’re getting equality. We don’t want to be special but we want to be equal with everybody. We’re also human beings, right? We’re happy that somehow, they’ve recognizing it now.
Mikka Valencia

I’m against it. That’s not God’s will. God’s will is for a man and a woman to be together that they may multiply. I’m against the gay marriage; it’s not the people that I’m against. It’s their choices.
Anamaria Tuigamala

I think the government really shouldn’t have a say on who marries who or why. So I support it.
Sarah Fryling

I think that it’s about time that they finally let people them be with who they want to be with. Gay marriage is all about equality. That’s just what it is. I’m proud to say that love wins all the time, you can’t stop that, it always prevails.
