Unfortunate side effects are attached to this amendment but we'll see how it plays out. NC already had a law outlawing gay marriage, but now the amendment basically bans civil unions too.

On top of that, the Republican State House Speakerr (Rep. Tillis) who helped draft this even said "this will be overturned most likely in 20 years" yet still put it out. And the exit polls agree where the crowd under 35 voted against this amendment. The "40 years" picture earlier in this thread is spot on.

I imagine those people will look about as dumb as Obama and the DNC in about 4 months in Charlotte.

To my gay friends and fellow state residents!! Why are you so obsessed with embracing an archaic, declining institution that will be obsolete in about 30 years!! Straight folks have been running away from this bondage for decades!!

And its idiocy like this vote that shows why we should never, ever put such things as simple equality to a vote.

North Carolina would probably re-instate slavery if they could.

Gay marriage will have exactly ZERO impact on disease patterns. To suggest otherwise is downright batty.
you have to be the dumbest person in the world if you don't think there are higher % of people who have had homosexual relation in the past decade as opposed to 50 to 60 years ago.

once you understand that fact you should be able to understand what I said.

Or presidential elections, or senate elections, or Governor races,
Mayors, City Counsel.

Yeah, that thing called democracy is just such a big problem.

We should just let tA decide.

Let's take a vote on it.

In theory, isn't a person's right to marry anyone (or even anything) they please a matter of personal liberty/responsibility, and thus TECHNICALLY restricting their right to do so is unconstitutional?

Yep, you gotta love hypocrites.
