"This should have been taken care of in the 1960s. That's when everybody should have had their civil rights granted."
— Elaine Jackson of Los Angeles, now living in Oakland
"It's great. It's a surprise and a happy one because government doesn't belong in that part of our lives."
— David Pomfret of Los Gatos
"I don't think it is a bad thing. I don't agree with it, but if that is what makes people happy. I don't think a court should have a say in who people marry."
— Kyle Shaules of Alameda
"I'm fine with it. To each his own, that's what I say. It doesn't interfere with my lifestyle."
— Ernest Brooks of Oakland
"They should just let people live the way they want to live. They should not interfere. It's their lives."

"I don't really know what I think about this issue. I haven't given it a lot of thought."

"I'm very pleased that they actually voted to overturn the ban. I think it is discriminatory not to allow people to marry whomever they want. I think people who happen to be in a relationship with people of the same sex should be afforded all the same rights as someone who has a relationship with someone of the opposite sex."
— Catherine Godlewski of Dublin
"I'm Advertisementkind of torn. I think there are benefits to providing people equal rights. So in that way it is gratifying that we are becoming more fair."
— James Arrington of Alameda
