Bill filed to ban gay marriage in N.C. (Constitutiona Amend)

[dbackjon]

North Carolina would add a prohibition on gay marriage to the state constitution under legislation filed this week and met with great fanfare Tuesday by religious and social conservative activists.

However, the fate of the bill filed by Sen. Jim Forrester, a Stanley Republican, and a similar one due to be filed by House backers Thursday is far from certain. Democrats control both the House and Senate and the top leaders in those chambers expressed reluctance to allow either measure to proceed.

“This bill has great meaning to the faith community,” Republican Sen. Jim Jacumin said in a news conference that was well attended by Catholic and Protestant ministers. “This amendment will ensure that marriage will be that which God designed.”

Other backers said there are secular reasons to worry about “nontraditional” marriage, primarily marriages between two women or two men.

This is ridiculous. If they want to pass a Constitutional Amendment, make it worthy--make English the official language (especially now that we have a President that can speak English). This is a useless amendment. Gotta love that big government.

"Other backers said there are secular reasons to worry about “nontraditional” marriage, primarily marriages between two women or two men."

The polygamy and marrying animals, "nontraditional" argument is a joke, as is the "protecting the family" argument. If the right wants to save the family, they should push for punishment of adulterers, and ban divorce.

Besides that, it isn't fair that the homosexual community should never get to hear the nagging voice of a spouse. Totally unfair to us straight folk.
