North Carolinians voted to change the state constitution Tuesday to say that
the only valid "domestic legal partnership" in the state is marriage
between a man and a woman, according to the AP's projection. The amendment
passed 61 to 39 percent with most counties reporting, making North Carolina
the 29th state with a gay marriage ban in its constitution.
The state already outlawed gay marriage, but the constitutional amendment
makes it more difficult for politicians to ever change the law. The
amendment also means that a handful of North Carolina municipalities that
extended benefits to the domestic partners of their employees will no longer
be able to do so, since marriage is now the only valid legal partnership in
the state. Former President Bill Clinton urged the state's voters not to
support the amendment in robocalls, while President Barack Obama's office
said he was also against the change.
Supporters of gay marriage out-raised and out-advertised their opponents in
the lead up to the vote, emphasizing in TV ads that the amendment could also
have repercussions for unmarried straight couples because of its vague
language. The anti-amendment coalition raised more than $2 million,
according to campaign finance disclosures, most of which came from small and
large individual donations. The pro-amendment crowd, called Vote for
Marriage NC, raised a little more than $1 million, with most of the money
being donated by nonprofit groups, not individuals.
Only 46 percent of voters realized that the amendment would ban civil unions
for gay couples as well as marriage, according to a Public Policy Polling
poll. A majority of North Carolina voters support civil unions.
Minnesota faces a ballot gay marriage ban in November, while Maine activists
are hoping that residents have changed their minds and will vote to approve
gay marriage this November after repealing its legalization in 2009.
Lawmakers in Maryland, Washington and New Jersey passed laws legalizing same
-sex marriage this year, though Gov. Chris Christie vetoed New Jersey's law.

Yes, all gays and lesbians need to be sent to hospitals for treatment.
