We here at 3 Chics Politico have our own views on Gay marriage. This posts speaks to my (AMETIA’s) views.
Tuesday, May 8, the North Carolina voters go the polls and will vote on Amendment One.
North Carolina Senate Bill 514 (2011) (also called Amendment 1) proposes to amend the North Carolina Constitution to limit the types of domestic unions valid or recognized.[1] Sponsored by Republican Sen. Peter Brunstetter, the bill was passed by the North Carolina General Assembly in September 2011.[2] As a result, citizens of North Carolina will be voting on the amendment on May 8, 2012.[3]
North Carolina is the only US southern state that does not have a constitutional amendment banning same-sex unions.[4] State law, however, already defines marriage as being between men and women.[5]
Rev. Dr. William J. Barber: YOU CAN’T VOTE ON RELIGION. AMEN!
Every sane American should view this video and ask the right questions.
DO YOU WANT TO GO AGAINST CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY?
Do you want to go backwards?
Do you believe in a states rights strategy that seeks to trumps the federal protections of the 14th amendment?
Do you believe by popular vote the majority should get to decide the rights of the minority? That’s a dangerous precedent.
Do you want to vote on an amendment that makes the only domestic union between a man and a women, and thereby undermining the rights of other couples, and the rights of children and the rights of possible victims of domestic violence?
And I’m damn sick of the whiney folks belly aching about POTUS not coming out and saying he supports Same sex marriage. He has already said he supports every American have full and equal rights allowed under the LAW. See the difference here? Marriage is a religious act. LGBT groups need to get their asses out there and DO THE WORK, because if y’all think you’re going to scapegoat black folks like Californians did for Prop 8, you’ve got another thing coming.
And please, pray tell, exactly who do they think the alternative is to President Obama, when it comes to LGBT rights?
Don’t buy the media’s “The President’s got to come out and address this issue.” It’s bullshit! Go do your homework and educate yourselves on all that President Obama has done to ensure All Americans have equal rights afforded under the laws of our US Constitution.
Please feel free to drop a comment, if you wish! Thanks.
