Why are you on the fence about it?
Literally nothing would change if this amendment failed.
Gay marriage is already banned in North Carolina, it's not like this would legalize it if it passed.
There is no justified reason to support this amendment.
We all know MilesC56 and Klecly are eschewing rational justifications in favor of religious theocracy in 2012.
Bravo chaps, bravo.
I don't consider myself especially religious.
What's your rationale for still considering a yes vote, then? (I think the religion issue is overplayed, since this is civil marriage, but I don't see anything resembling a decent public policy argument for Constitutionally banning gay civil unions [!!!].)
I don't even see why there is necessarily an inherent assumption that social consevatism must be religiously derived.
For instance, my motivations for holding the socially conservative positions that I have, has absolutely nothing to do with anything remotely religious, as I am very secular and at one point was even atheist.
Agreed. A few of my social beliefs are derived from the church (e.g, anti-euthanasia, anti-death penalty) but most of my beliefs are based on my experiences.
