Anti-gay marriage amendment will be on ballot in NC in May 2012

Honestly living in Orange County myself, either way I vote won't have any effect.

You're aware that referenda don't use the electoral college, yes?

Ah yes, I know, but the People's Republic of Chapel Hill is probably going to throw parades against this thing, and I just don't care enough after how far they will take it.

Oh that damn fighting not to have discrimination written into the state constitution.....

I don't understand why some people seem so surprised that this is going to pass. It may be slightly better than it's more southern comrades, but in the end it's still North Carolina.

NC has changed quite a bit over the years, and if this was held in November I doubt it would pass, especially with the current language, however with it on GOP Primary day it likely does pass.
