Thank you Mr. President!
I live in NC and voted against banning same sex marriage, Mr wm voted against the ban, and our college age nephew took his final exam for the semester and stopped by the polls to vote against the ban on his way to our house. He was so cute with his I voted sticker on his shirt, lol! (his first election
It is interesting that the counties that won the vote against this amendment are all home to a college or university.
We are all taxpayers and the courthouse belongs to everyone. We serve on jury duty, pay fines, apply for permits and licenses, appear in court, etc. It is sad that Gays and Lesbians are discriminated against in the marriage license dept.
IMO this amendment in NC violates the 14th amendment to the US constitution. It is a violation of peoples civil rights.
I do respect the rights of the churches to decline to perform marriages between same sex couples but everyone should be allowed to apply for any license at the county courthouse.
I am glad that POTUS finally took a stand on this issue.
Oh yea, it IS true that one can marry their cousin in NC, just not their gay cousin. Thank you Sally LU!!
MOO
