Here in Puerto Rico, the youth and most young adults (below 40) are quite liberal when it comes to gay rights. In fact, homophobia is often frowned at by youths in their late teens and early twenties. The youth is also coming out earlier in school and finding quite a lot of acceptance or at least apathy. It must be pointed out that political parties aren't divided by liberal / conservative but by pro-statehood and pro-status quo, and thus people vote for those who support the Puerto Rican status they prefer which could lead to a socially conservative congress. Social issues were rarely discussed during the 2008 general elections campaign, instead economic issues and the Puerto Rican status were the main issues.
Most of the homophobia present is closer to "fear" or "uncomfort" rather than hate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.243.193.245 ( talk) 22:32, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

This isn't about what PR can or can't do. It's about what it did do today. It asked the Court to confirm its latest legal reasoning and to reverse its win in the lower court. Facts on the ground seem not to have changed. Bmclaughlin9 ( talk) 20:15, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Can someone who understands how this ruling about same-sex marriage in regard to the US Constitution affects Puerto Rican law please update the article with the relevant information? I'm afraid I don't quite understand if/how the US Constitution and rulings about it affect Puerto Rico, so I can't update it myself. -- Thek826 ( talk) 16:22, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
I live in PR and every federal law affects Puerto Rico. Our constitution as a territorry can't differ with federal laws. So Puerto Rico will have marriage equality too as a territorry that recieves and follow all federal laws. Federal laws apply to every state or territories — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.139.120.225 ( talk) 16:44, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
