Kpete copy and pastes an op-ed with greatly exaggerated hype and rhetoric. Poor liberal university professor(go figure) won't be able to marry his partner.

NC "its voters will carve in large, bloody letters hatred into the Constitution"
I am a professor at the University of North Carolina. I am a Westerner by birth and temperament, but after nearly two decades in this gentle, Southern state, I was until recently proud to call it home.
Today, it looks likely to be the case that my beloved home will pass an amendment to its Constitution that will make me a permanent second-class citizen. Last night, I talked with my husband of 12 years what we should do. Should I look for a job elsewhere? I love UNC. I love its students. But it is clear that a majority of its voters will carve in large, bloody letters hatred into the Constitution.
Should I uproot myself? I plan on writing the Chancellor of the University on Wednesday to let him know that I will start the years-long process of finding a new job. I am heartbroken. American Theocracy is a real thing - and the machinery of a pluralist, democratic state has been hijacked.
Truly, my heart breaks.

DUmp predictably chimes in- South bashing, homophobes, religious zealots...

And, of course, those who might choose to stop the constant erosion of our traditional values- values that have been under attack by liberals for decades, are too dumb to know any better.

the wording of the amendment closely. So some will not know exactly what they are voting for.
I got a laugh out of this dummy. Obviously hasn't figured out kpete's copy and paste tendencies- begs for her to stay. DUmp intelligence on display.

kPete--I hope you stay. Carolina (my alma mater), the Triangle, Triad and Asheville are bastions of more progressive sentiment. At Carolina you can continue to influence in-state students from more rural areas. African Americans weren't welcome at Carolina until the 60s/70s but people kept fighting. Faculty have been outspoken activists for years and have helped lead the way.
Of course, I don't have to put up with the daily slap in my face that you and your partner have to tolerate, but frankly, having grown up in NC with ancestors not many generations back who owned slaves and one who literally led a lynching, it's amazing to me that several hundred thousand to a million or so people actually voted AGAINST this travesty. That's serious progress, given our patriarchal, racist, xenophobic, homophobic past.
We need you here, if you can stand it.
Publicly shop around so people realize we're losing talent and business due to this amendment, and then make Thorp give you an amazing counteroffer so you can stay.

Oh! That was funny. He doesn't realize she's the C&P Queen. Thinks she's a gay dude, too.
Zazen: Kpete is an extremely wealthy hetero female living in southern California. She lives in a vast mansion in a gated community, to keep out the riffraff. She composes copy/paste jobs, mostly jeering at Romney for having some money. Then she calls the butler to come and hit "post."

You are free to marry anyone of the opposite sex that you want, if marriage is that important to you. You, however, have chosen to remain in a relationship that is incompatible with what marriage is. That is your choice, but don't expect society to acquiesce to your demands that we treat that relationship as though it were equal monogomous heterosexual marriage, when it clearly isn't.

I'm sure the chancellor, the university, and the state of North Carolina will weep when they hear this news.
How will they survive without a moonbat who would wreck her career over an amendment to the state constitution?
Her departure will be as certain and permanent as nutcase nadin deserting the DUmp.

34. Bigots are making their last stand in the south. This crap wouldn't
pass out West, the Northeast, or even many parts of the Midwest.
As far as I know, no anti-homo referendum has ever failed.
They always pass - North, South, East, or West - by wide margins.
Most blue hellholes are only blue because of their black population, and black folks don't like queers.

Were you using "her" in a colorful way? I think the letter-writer at Andrew Sullivan's Daily Beast column is a he. The kind of he who has a "husband" of 12 years. That's how I interpreted it.

You're right! Gross!
As a decent and civilized person, my expectation is always that it's a female who refers to having a husband.
Even after years of reading about the abominations practiced by democrat perverts, it's hard to avoid making assumptions of normal decency.

This is true. If a marriage protection referendum can pass in California, they can pass anywhere.
I remember the day CA passed prop 8. It was another memorable day over at the DUmp. Many a cranium implosions that day. When exit polls showed that black votes paved the way for victory, the inner racist within them all lashed out violently.

At Carolina you can continue to influence in-state students from more rural areas In DUmmyland, those people are called Jesus freaks, rednecks, Neocons, crackers, and so on. Get with the program. African Americans weren't welcome at Carolina until the 60s/70s but people kept fighting. Faculty have been outspoken activists for years and have helped lead the way... to the decline in values of this great country.
Of course, I don't have to put up with the daily slap in my face that you and your partner have to tolerate I'm sure it's just horrible for him being on a liberal university campus. Well compensated I'm sure, and many universities have domestic shack-up benefits. So horrible but frankly, having grown up in NC with ancestors not many generations back who owned slaves and one who literally led a lynching, it's amazing to me that several hundred thousand to a million or so people actually voted AGAINST this travesty.

They just revel in their ignorance and hate. The exact same thing they say is so terrible is what they are steeped in.

So all those Obama lovers who voted for him in 2008 can't stand gay people?

Silly primitive - you should know they have to pass it first to find out what's in it. Pelosi said so.
