North Carolina bans gay marriage
Did they not read the Declaration of Independance?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes.

Presumably if it's about the "sanctity of marriage" they'll need to ban divorce as well. Hypocrites. And none of their damn business either.
But pleasures are like poppies spread
You seize the flow'r, the bloom is shed

"Sanctity of Marriage" my ass! The most conservative principle in America is "Stay out of my house!".

North Carolina would probably let the Kardashians marry.

I thought in North Carolina you can marry your cousin, provided you're of opposite gender and you're over 13 years old.

Re: North Carolina bans gay marriage
I think the stigma of gay marriage will eventually be eliminated in this country like slavery and accusing people of being witches. It just takes time for the ignorant people to get used to the idea. Even Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, but knew it was wrong, and knew America would have to deal with that issue long after he died. I've known and worked with many gay people throughout my career, and they are usually the most personable and intelligent, and witty people I have ever had the pleasure to work with.

The US increasingly appears to be a nation at war with itself. A sort of social civil war.
