How many of those who plan or have voted FOR the Amendment, would have also voted FOR slavery, AGAINST De-segrated Schools, and AGAINST Women's right to vote, Civil Rights in general,etc.??

To preserve our State and US Constitutions, we MUST keep church and state separate. Look what has happened all through history, all over the world, when these two forces have merged.

"One thought. Almost everything we do as a people can be tracked historically in other, older cultures.

If you do an honest assessment of the introduction of homosexual behavior in a society, what does history report? If you think it had no impact or positive impact, you have not read enough." - canuseethelightofday

You mean like the Roman Empire...

~500 BC Roman Republic established which eventually becomes the Roman Empire. The majority religion at this time is Paganism.FACT Pagan Rome openly and commonly practices homosexuality . 380 AD the Roman Empire adopts Christianity as its official religion. 476 AD the Roman Empire collapses after nearly a thousands years and just 96 years as a Christian Country.

I completely agree that a marriage is between one man and one woman. However, this bill addresses much more.

Important to note that voting against this bill will not change current law, BUT voting for it will affect families, both gay and streight, and their children, and WOULD result in children loosing benefits.

This is why I HATE politicians and their smoke and mirror politics. It's no wonder our country is in shambles...

Wow, As a former North Carolinian, I will be disgusted if this amendment passes. The vitriolic hate spewed from religious, close-minded people in this state makes me glad I moved away. Citing religious passes does NOT justify legal means. Separation of Church and State, that is what this nation was founded on. Don't force everyone to believe your fables and stories.

This is an complete waste of time. Aren't there ENOUGH issues facing our state that are more important and effect everyone rather than wasting time (not to mention money) on re-writing the state constitution.

I'm a born and bred Christian and believe marriage should be betw a man/woman. I also have friends and co-workers who are gay. I do not judge them and it's none of NC's business to do so either.

Being gay may not be a choice, but marriage is. If gays "choose" to marry; let them. Don't waste our time & tax money REWRITING the constitution.

If this is passed... what's next?

Danny22- what if your grandchildren turn out to be gay?

I have had several friends who were gay. What they do is their business but they don't have a right to change the definition of marriage.

I will vote for it to try to prevent gay marriage from becoming legal. In states like California, the public schools are teaching alternative lifestyles and I don't want my grandchildren exposed to that. In NY, Catholic orphanages have had to battle over their right to place children in homes where there is a mother and father.

I personally believe marriage should only be between a man and a woman but because the way the admendment is worded I may have to vote against it.

brainybabs- I agree, that's why some people are saying that if this does pass it will eventually be overturned by the Supreme Ct- hopefully it will not come to that.

Seems to me people are in a twist about the term marriage (and the moral/religious aspects). The disconnect I hear is that many people don't have a problem with the legal recognition of same sex couples, but don't realize that the wording of this amendment makes any legal recognition against the state constitution.
