I'm not sure how to feel.
On the one hand if it's a state law, they should be allowed to make their own state laws without having other people butt in. On the other hand, the law just seems.... wrong. Banning gay marriage is bad enough, but this seems like it's trying to force gay couples out all together as opposed to "It's fine just as long as you don't get married". Aren't straight couples who don't marry going to be effected by this as well? All I can say is I don't think I like North Carolina anymore. -- http://img.imgcake.com/AlecTrevylan006/darkyounglinkshieldpngyg.png Sleep? F*** sleep, Toonami is on!!- GenesisSaga ...

It may be unconstitutional. The US Supreme Court is going to have to rule on these amendments somewhere down the line. Maybe with Prop 8- the 9th Circuit found it unconstitutional (on narrower grounds that would not apply to this NC amendment, because the NC amendment also does away with civil unions). The Prop 8 decision is likely going to be appealed to the US Supreme Court, which may rule on the constitutionality of all these laws.

They don't, because they, like you, have been brainwashed by the media and by statist government schools to believe just that: That "state's rights" is an argument used by racists to advocate for a return to slavery and nothing more. That being said, someone who DOESN'T believe in "state's rights" should be fervently against California legalizing marijuana or New York legalizing gay marriage or Chicago refusing to enforce immigration law. -- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - http://img.imgcake.com/smartmuffin/barkleyjpgde.jpg http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ ...
