Amendment 1 in NC

Post by Noreason757 »

So I live in North Carolina where they just passed a bill than bans gay marriage, civil unions, and it takes away healthcare to children with unmarried parents. It really pisses me off that this passed with more than 60% of the vote. I Mean are people really that ignorant and selfish that they would just ban a couple that are in love from marrying just because they are the same sex. For me if it doesn't pertain to my life i just leave it alone people should be how they wanna be and act how they wanna act. Also keep in mind that in north carolina you are legally allowed to marry your cousin. now i find that way more disturbing and weird than lesbians and gays marrying. at least they aren't related. And also in our constitution there is a thing called separation from church and state, so the government shouldn't even be allowed to meddle in what churches can or cannot do when it comes down to marriage. The thing with the kids with unmarried parents i also find unfair, i mean i do think that if 2 people are married and have a kid they should try to stick it out, but sometimes it just dosent work out but they shouldn't take it out on the kids because their parents got divorced.

ok i think thats enough of a rant from me for today, sorry i just had to vent :angry:

but uh what are your guys thoughts on all of this.

I agree with you. I've kept up with most of what you've said, and i can't say I'm surprised by the outcome.. I mean.. I don't really have a lot of hope for most of the South in general. These are people that 50 years ago still believed in segregation and discrimination.... I know there are plenty of people who do not fit that description, and its hard to generalize, but the majority the South is.... un-accepting, and unwilling to change.. It is disappointing. I agree with what you said though, it doesn't pertain to my life whether gays marry or not, so why should i even have a say in it?

I heard about this, how completely horrible, they go on about protecting the 'sanctity' of heterosexual marriage, but fail to be able to explain exactly how homosexual marriage will destroy this 'sanctity'. The only effect of homosexual marriage, is homosexual marriage, not heterosexual couples inexplicably splitting up or nuclear warfare. And the other one about unmarried parents is abysmal too.
How many homophobes does it take to change a lightbulb? None, they don't like change even if it might make the world a brighter place.

It's pathetic that gay marriage is still an issue in this day and age. Let people do what makes them happy!

The whole "you can marry your cousin, but not someone the same sex as you even if you love them" is absurd and lulz worthy. Some people need to get over themselves. The world is changing and it's going to be that way always.

It's a fucking outrage!
Anyone should be able to marry someone they love, and nobody should be able to mess with that.
The dickheads voting against gay marriage shouldn't be allowed to marry too, that'll teach them to mind their own fucking business.
The funny thing is that the church is against gay marriage, but do not give a single fuck when their priests molest little boys.

I think it's ridiculous that this is still a problem. Everybody deserves the right to love and marry who they want. I don't get how people can worry about anything that has nothing to do with them, people should be able to live their lives without it being anyone elses business. Live and let live :)

This is why I'm glad to live in the UK. I would rather live in Russia than the US. If things don't change soon, I can envision some people taking arms against the government. Which I totally support.
fuck this signature nonsense

Going to take a quote from the Bible for those people that say Gay Marriage should be banned because of Christianity.
Corinthians 5:9-13 wrote:9I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral . . . . In that case you would have to leave this world. 11But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral . . . 12What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13God will judge those outside. . . ."

wait they banned civil marriage too??

Homosexuals can get married here, honestly "marriage" it's just a legal paper I don't see what the big deal is, if you love someone you should be able to marry him/her regardless of your sex.

Great, now try getting them to follow this verse instead of the one calling gay people an abomination and saying they should be stoned (yes I know they can't do that now, but they are doing all they can by taking away their liberty).
