North Carolina bans Gay marriages by rabzy01: 10:22am On May 09, 2012 |
North Carolina voters have approved a state constitutional amendment that bans same-sex marriage and civil unions, dealing a blow to efforts across the United States to extend gay marriage rights. The amendment, which defines marriage between a man and a woman as the only legally recognised domestic union in the state, was passed by a wide margin on Tuesday. With 95 of 100 counties' results reported, about 61 per cent of voters backed the amendment. North Carolina law already blocks gay and lesbian couples from marrying, but the state now joins other southeastern states in adding the prohibition to its constitution. Many voters simply viewed the amendment as a vote on same-sex marriage despite efforts by the measure's opponents to broaden the discussion, Tom Jensen of the Raleigh-based Public Policy Polling firm said. "Anytime in North Carolina you have a majority of Republicans and African Americans on the same side of an issue, that's a very potent combination," Jensen said. www.aljazeera.com/news/americas/2012/05/20125942959863200.html |

Good. It seems the only way pro-gay social integration policies are successful is by a few ignorant minority forcing their elitist opinions on the majority through forcing of unpopular laws, ignoring public opinion, and then letting the public get used to the law. |

fresh_dude: I thought the Americans were trying to strongarm us into repealing the anti-gay marriage law. How hypocritic. Why are you clumping all Americans the same? I know you don't like it when people clumps all Nigerians the same. I am sure of that! Not all Americans are born in America either so we have all different mindsets and opinions that shapes America and the same goes for Nigeria. I, an American do not give a Bleep how OTHER COUNTRIES run their people.....your country can burn all homosexuals for all I give a damn. Real talk. |
