Time for a Marriage Amendment in NC

North Carolina Democrat Governor Bev Perdue doesn’t think her state needs a constitutional marriage amendment. She’s convinced the state statute is sufficient. That’s not surprising.

She’s not dumb; she knows that state statutes have not provided adequate protection from the liberal courts in other states, and she knows that a constitutional marriage amendment would place the issue out of the hands of state courts. So in order to please the homosexual activists in her party, she’s hoping the new Republican-controlled legislature won’t pass a one-man, one-woman marriage amendment.

North Carolina is the only state in the South without a marriage amendment. It’s time that pro-family state leaders stand up and demand a hearing on the issue. The majority of North Carolinians support marriage between one man and one woman. It’s time their elected leaders listen.

“Gov. Bev Perdue told reporters that she did not think North Carolina needed a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.

North Carolina currently has a law that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. Perdue’s position — one that had been the default for many of the state’s Democratic leaders over the past decade — frustrates both sides of the debate.”
