The bigots win: North Carolina passes Amendment One

The bigots win: North Carolina passes Amendment One

by Kaili Joy Gray

Sadly, as predicted, voters in North Carolina passed Amendment One, the law that bans already-banned same-sex marriage and tacks on a gratuitous "and no civil unions, either." As Joan McCarter explained:

There would be no more legal unions between unmarried people, gay or straight. It could take health care benefits away from families, it could take away domestic violence protections, hospital visitation rights, and all the very basic protections of civil unions.

That's why just about everyone—including North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue, former President Bill Clinton (and his daughter), Episcopal bishops, hundreds of business leaders, religious leaders, and members of both parties—opposed it. Because it's hateful and wrong. But apparently, the state's voters disagreed.

Way to go, North Carolina. You must be so proud.

The muslim carried North Carolina in 2008.

That's why his opinion on queer marriage is just "evolving" until after November.

He's going to be busy after November if he wins. So far he has scheduled, surrendering to Putin, making a decision on the pipeline, and stating his new evolved opinion on gay marriage.

I know that most of you know I don't care if gay people marry (but not force gay marriage on the church). BUT I wonder if Gay people see Obama being a total ***** on this issue. Why didn't he come out supporting it yet? You and I know he doesn't care one way or the other. He has absolutely no balls. What a chicken shit.

There were two responses, and then the nonsensical primitive deleted the original comment.

Maybe 0bamaheadquarters ordered her to; they want North Carolina in November, and it's not good to slander North Carolinians.

Yes, it's disruptive to point out that blacks aren't overly fond of fags.  Hispanics (both white and otherwise) aren't too fond of them either.  Grow up, son, and face the fact that these groups aren't quite as stupid as you are in this one area.

I don't believe that anymore. It's a sad day. I continue to hope for a day when a President will stand up for what is right and not be afraid of electoral backlash. We've seen that idea destroyed (see NJ). Equal rights for everyone. The fact that what should be a non-issue continues to be an issue for both parties to neglect depresses the hell out of me.

I'm surprised the good people of N.C. haven't told them to get lost before now.

Once again the Keystone Cop side of this adminstration is rearing it's ugly head...thank God.

First the Dem Gov (Bev Perdue) says she's not running again...then it turns out that the DNC wants to bring in out-of-state Union workers to replace non-union workers for the convention...now this.

I voted yesterday and voted against it.  There has been a law banning same sex marriage on the books since 1996.  I agree gays shouldn't be married, I however thought the amendment was too vague and I'm pretty sure it just overturned NC being a common law marriage state.

Regardless, unlike acting like the DUmbasses, it passed and so be it.   I agree in principle, I just thought they should write it a little more precise.

If Walker keeps his job, there better be union stewards o hand to make sure no union wrists are slit with non union razors, and not during break, or lunch or before or after normal working hours, and that only union workers with the wrist slitting designation do the actual slitting. Maybe they'll get lucky and have the slitting local standing by.
