Amendment One goes to the vote today in North Carolina, and would ban not only same sex marriage, but any form of civil union or domestic partnership, including common-law marriage.
Interestingly, Public Policy Polling results suggest that 55% of people will vote for Amendment One, but 52% support civil unions. Dr Barber is right - too many of the people who will be voting on this amendment haven't really read and understood what they are voting on. The media focus on making it exclusively about 'gay marriage' may have won the day for bigots.
