North Carolina voters approved a constitutional amendment Tuesday that defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The amendment makes North Carolina the 30th state to institute a ban on gay marriage. Main supporters, Vote for Marriage and Coalition to Protect All N.C. Families, celebrated with a seven-layer cake.
In all, the amendment's supporters and opponents combined spent a whopping $3 million on TV, billboards and messaging. In the end, the public sided against the possibility for gay marriage or domestic partnerships.
North Carolina law already banned gay marriage, but the amendment effectively slams the door on the possibility of a additional legislation.

How can a highly developed western country like the USA have such third-world regressive, repressive laws and attitudes towards human rights? Organized religion is the root of all evil. More wars have been fought and countless persons tortured and slaughtered all in the name of religion. Christ taught love but his worshippers practice hate. If there is a hell, may the ‘Christians’ who voted this way rot in it. If Obama loses in November and the traditionally red-neck Republicans take power, things can only get worse on the gay rights front. Could we see a repeal of the repeal of DADT???
What’s the point of Obama supporting gay marriage if 30 states to date can ban it?
Hey, North Carolina got it right! While Homosexuals have EVERY RIGHT to live as they wish, society has the right to PRESERVE what marriage was meant to be and continues to be what the majority want.
