Do You Think More Or Less Of North Carolina After Gay Marriage Vote?

Yesterday, sixty percent of North Carolina residents who showed up to vote decided homosexuals should not have the right to marry each other or enter into a civil union. The disapproval of the whole marry each other part isn’t really a shock. In fact, a majority of Southern states have decided to amend their constitutions to prohibit same-sex unions from being referred to by such names, but the denial of civil unions isn’t a step a whole lot of places have taken.

Proponents of the measure have said the legislation won’t affect health care for children or end of life visitation rights, but it’s unlikely we’ll truly know the implications of the decision for years to come. Besides, the most basic fallout from the vote is readily clear. In North Carolina, consenting adults will not be allowed to dictate the course of their own relationships if they’re members of the same sex. They will instead be cast as outsiders by a constitution that now expressly frowns on their moral choices.

Public opinion polls show roughly fifty-two percent of Americans don’t have any problem with gays marrying. The residents of North Carolina clearly do. So, naturally, that prompts the question, does yesterday’s vote change your feelings about the state of North Carolina? Do you now consider it a more moral and Godly place to be held up as a shining example, or do you now consider the state to be a bastion for hate? Let us know how your feelings have changed by voting in the poll below…
