Amendment 1

Like most people I am really sad about so many NC residents voting for Amendment 1.  But I can't say a whole lot about it since I did not go and vote yesterday. For those interested, here in an article that was written before the voting yesterday by Observer writer, Tommy Tomlinson. I thought it was really good.  http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2012/04/27/3205729/no-one-is-hurt-by-gay-marriage.html

  2. Thanks for sharing that article. In New York, our vote to legalize gay marriage was voted on by our elected state officials, not everyone in the state, but they had the vote twice - the first time was a few years ago but it did not have enough votes to pass and the second time, last summer, it did pass. Maybe there will be a second vote in NC sometime in the future. As a (semi) newlywed myself, it warmed my heart to see so many excited people standing on line to be married at midnight the day the law actually went into effect.
