    North Carolina and Gay Marriage

    NY Times: North Carolina Voters Pass Same-Sex Marriage Ban

    CNN: North Carolina's ban on same-sex marriage sparks cheers, jeers

    This has certainly caused an uproar in socially progressive circles, especially in my neck of the woods here in NY. Thoughts?

    Same as always for me. I'm 50/50 on the issue but slide to 51/49 against because of the activists on the pro side.

    Just my 2 cents:

    hammer, Parihaka, zraver and 3 others like this.
    Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

    Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.

    Same reaction as Dale.

    Don't care about the thing either way but voted for the ban just to see the activist idiots have a conniption fit....

    They kill people who are trying to rock them to get items to fall out, by falling over on top of them - stupid, greedy people - so they are performing a useful
    service.

    I thought the fact that we are a republic is meant to prevent exactly this sort of stupidity.
    "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" ~ Epicurus

    Not completely sure what you mean but did you just draw a parallel between gay marriage and (incestual) necrophilia?

    You voted for tyranny just to watch people speaking out for liberty have a fit...? Go f... yourself for treating the issue like a joke and voting for discrimination.
