diesa_jThat sadly Amendment 1 passed with flying color here in NC today.
Amendment One, erroneously described as a referendum on same-sex marriage. For people that pay attention Same- sex marriage was banned in NC last year without it is even making the news with the passing of this law it renders civil unions and domestic partnerships ineligible for legal protection.
So in other words if I had the hankering to do so I can marry my first cousin but I cant find somebody and live with a person that I love and want to spend the rest of my life without it breaking the law. We would have no rights to each other at all so if they worked somewhere they offered health insurance for domestic partners in NC you wouldnt be covered, if we did break the law and live in the same house together they could raise their hand to me or I to them and thanks to this law being in effect a Domestic Violence order couldnt be issued.
If we have children together that child has no rights for health insurance or to a name since they were not born to a wedded couple.
So thank you NC for showing how backwards you are and how much you care for your fellow man, woman and children that live her and not want to have a piece of paper that says they are legally allowed to be together.

I already told my Ma if this thing passed I was out of this state now to find a place to move to.

North Florida is known as South Georgia. Central Florida waffles back and forth, but South Florida is definitely Progressive except for those that voted for Allen West.

They wouldn't be so quick to cut social programs, would care about the environment, would care about social justice, would care about economic justice, be against capital punishment, and would be against unjust wars.
