I'm ashamed of my state.

[Kristin]

Yesterday, North Carolina voted on an amendment that would define marriage as one man and one woman, therefore making any chance of legalizing gay marriage near-impossible anytime soon.

It passed.

The worst part is that not only does the bill discriminate against gay couples, it also effects hetero couples, unwed mothers and spousal/child abuse victims, making it even more difficult to get tax breaks, legal help and much-needed protection.

I already hate living here, but now I can't wait to move. It makes me sick to live in a state that, firstly, didn't legalize interracial marriage until the 70's, but also is so intolerant and ignorant towards anyone who isn't conservative/rich/white/straight.

That is insane.
I really do not see the harm in a same sex couple getting married.

[Kristin]

It just makes me so mad that no one educated themselves before they voted. They don't realize how much everyone in our state is going to be effected/hurt by this new bill.

Don't worry, I was sad too but Obama announcing that he supports gay marriage made my day

Yes I was happy about that too.

But it's going to take a lot more than that to turn our state around...everyone here hates Obama.

Yeah, it's election time, he's gotta get all the votes that he can.

Only because its election time.

Obama Says He Is Against Same-Sex Marriage But Also Against Ending Its Practice In Calif.
(you need an account to see links)

Obama told MTV he believes marriage is "between a man and a woman" and that he is "not in favor of gay marriage."

Before you vote, I hope you actually do research before voting (;

That was in 2008
Now that it's election time again, he is saying his thoughts on gay marriage had a "revolution", and now he is for gay marriage.
This guy needs to go.

Yup, he should GTFO.

Doublespeak FTL.

There is a reason everyone hates him ... because he is doing what they don't want.
I highly doubt he is going to get re-elected into power next term.

But I do like him for this reason.
My fiance told me this today and it made me happy.
