Looking at the map, most of the "rural" areas voted in favor of it by a good margin.

Ignorance breeds more ignorance. Congrats to all the morons who have determined they have the right to determine what other people can and cannot do.

Re: North Carolina passes same-sex marriage ban
 

History. The last time NC amended our constitution for marriage.

Now they can say they saved the Sanctity Of Marriage even with a divorce rate of over 55%.

What is the Sanctity of Marriage?

Re: North Carolina passes same-sex marriage ban
 

Not sure if your joking but if you look at the def for

sanctity [ˈsæŋktɪtɪ]
n pl -ties
1. (Christianity / Ecclesiastical Terms) the condition of being sanctified; holiness
2. anything regarded as sanctified or holy
3. the condition of being inviolable; sacredness the sanctity of marriage
[from Old French saincteté, from Latin sanctitās, from sanctus holy]


Its one god fearing man married to one god fearing woman in the far rights eyes. They tend to ignore the divorce rate and other problems when they talk about how sacred marriage is.

Re: North Carolina passes same-sex marriage ban
 

Marriage according to the Bible.

Some people of faith have some sense. Here is a pastor and his speech in regards to this amendment.

Re: North Carolina passes same-sex marriage ban
 

even though i dont agree with it, dont have a problem with the state making the decision over the federal government. Just like if any state wants to make legal gay marriage, thats fine.

Not sure why really. Could be the age groups in those areas, it could be that more locals go to the other schools as compared to locals go to ECU. As for why my ignorant gay hating community voted yes? Well, it's because they are a ignorant gay hating community. Nothing else to say on that.

Guess I paid more attention in classes than some people.

A degree doesn't mean you aren't ignorant. You can be ignorant and still have a degree.

Not really, it's just that NC (and the rest of the US) were just fed up that much with Republicans. Had GWB not done the shitty job he did those 8 years, another Repub candidate would have been a shoo-in in NC.



Speaking of Obama, I'm quite shocked that he's taken this stance publicly.

[quote]In a historic move, President Barack Obama has become the very first President of the United States to voice support for marriage equality and same-sex marriage. A new interview with ABC News' Robin Roberts reveals that Obama, who has previously voted against marriage equality and in favor of civil unions, has changed his stance, explaining that his opinion has "evolved."

"It is important me to be able to affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married," he tells Roberts. [/quote]

So is everyone who doesn't agree with you ignorant? What if they paid even more attention than you in classes? Funny how you can attack those with opposing views from atop the soapbox of tolerance. Not debating the merits of marriage in any form just trying to point out the lack of class you gave displayed so far. But I am just a big dumb hick living in Macon County so please forgive my ignorance.

? I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if you actually disagree with my statement. It should be obvious by now I disagree with all the bible-thumpers wanting to protect the sanctity of marriage and its' 55% divorce rate.

Did god shoot them a message on facebook telling to vote for it? Text message? How do they know what god's will is? Last time I checked, it's god's will for all man to love on another just as he loved you. So now, you get into the business of playing the role of god, and now you know what's best for these heathens based of his will which you really have no clue on. Sounds like some other radical religious nuts we know about.

You are forgiven.


In all seriousness, I'm not attacking their views on homosexuality. I'm attacking their ability to separate supporting homosexuality with supporting rights for people as human beings. The ignorance lies in the fact that they want to intertwine the two. Religion has no reason being part of government or business. Religion is a personal thing. It should guide you and only you as well as it should only affect YOU and only YOU. It's when your religion starts stomping on the rights of others because you deem it a sin. If it is a sin, god will judge him. These very people who profess to be religious are breaking their own rules just so they can squash something they deem wrong.

I suggest you view that youtube video I posted of that pastor speaking. Allow a man of god to explain it to you.

Re: North Carolina passes same-sex marriage ban
 

I agree that it's a state right. Though I can comprehend why any state would be against it. Call it ignorance, call it naivete but why can't a gay couple be allowed to marry? Why should so much time and energy be spent arguing against it when there are so many more serious problems (unemployment, the economy) to worry about.

I didn't miss your point, and that video was posted to squash any such notion that religion should be apart of this vote. You have a man who preaches the word of god telling you otherwise.

I don't think people are ignorant just because my they don't agree with my views. I could care less about your views on homosexuality. This isn't about homosexuality. This is about giving rights to individuals. Plain and simple.

What merits are there to debate about marriage? Whatever it is, I'm quite positive it leads back to *gasp* religion. Which is exactly why I've said what I've said. Voting for ones rights, doesn't mean you are voting in favor of homosexuality. Voting in against this amendment doesn't make you any less of a Christian.

Did you even watch the video? I'll be amazed if you actually did.

Re: North Carolina passes same-sex marriage ban
 

I was actually hoping they would pass it. In fact I want laws, at least proposed that are worse then amendment 1.

Look heres the deal. Gay marriage is a ticking time bomb that is going to go off in the near future (10 to 20 years). Sucks for the people that want to get married now and the people that need benefits but eventually it's not going to even be a fight. The younger generation is increasingly progressive and won't be stupid enough to give homophobia a leg to stand on.

I want the homophobes to keep on spitting out more and more of their hypocritical nonsense. I want soundbites galore. "Protecting marriage" while getting divorced at a rate over 50%. Being pro-life but not wanting gay couples to adopt children and give them a home.

As Romney likes to say, the 'market will correct itself.' I want it to become so ridiculous to buy into homophobia that when the time comes to strike it down it will be like taking a hot knife to butter.

Enjoy your time in the sun Amendment 1 supporters. It's almost over.

Well they said that in NC it would come down to a 50/50 vote and would be very close. Well it won with something like 62 or 64 % of the vote so you might be wishing for the wrong thing. I also lioke how you feel the need to call people who don't agree with gay marriage "homophobes". That's straight out of the left wing hand book. If they don't agree with you call them names.
