North Carolina just passed an Amendment to their Constitution that bans same-sex marriage, and defines marriage as "a union between a man and a woman". I simply cannot believe this is happening. North Carolina has a Republican government for the first time in 140 years, and what's the thing that they make sure they accomplish? Banning gay marriage. It's nice to know that humanity is regressing back to the 1800s. Also, because of the very vague wording in the Amendment, it could cause complications and even lessen protection for victims of domestic abuse, since "domestic union" is not a phrase recognised by state law. I just can't believe that in 2012, we are still struggling for gay rights. It sickens me, it really does.
You can read more about it here and here.
wow that is insane! shows how messed up our world really is!
ReplyDeleteGay marrage shouldn't be banned anywhere because you can't help who you love but it is just the sad and sickening truth about our world that we can't accept people for who they are we want everyone to change to our liking.
ReplyDeleteI really do agree with you on these matters. I do wonder if we are progressing or regressing. The Greeks accepted and even promoted homosexuality in their people. Many people consider our society as more developed than theirs, but the North Carolina legislation considered, are we really?
