Amendment One: N.C. Voters Approve Measure to Block Same-Sex Marriage

Amendment One: N.C. voters approve measure to block same-sex marriage | CharlotteObserver.com & The Charlotte Observer Newspaper

Charlotte Pastor Mark Harris and Cindy Marrelli of Raleigh observe the passage of the N.C. marriage amendment during the election night party at the North Raleigh Hilton. 

Amid the largest primary turnout in decades, citizens of North Carolina voted for it to become the 31st state to pass an amendment to place stronger legal barricades before same-sex unions.  According to 90% of the vote at the time of this headline, 61% of North Carolina voters voted for a constitutional amendment to make marriage exclusively between a man and a woman.  39% voted against it. 

I'm very thankful to see that the citizens of North Carolina have enough sense to vote for the amendment which would define marriage as between a man and a woman only.  It would be a huge embarrassment for North Carolina if they voted this amendment down.  The reason being is because North Carolina is in the Bible belt.  I just hope the voters there will have enough sense to not re-elect President Obama in November.  In 2008 N.C. voters voted for Barack Obama.  That was the first time the residents of North Carolina voted for a Democrat for president since Jimmy Carter.  President Obama this past week just expressed what I believe he has stood for all along.  He stated this week he is supportive of same-sex marriage.  I don't believe for one second his views on same-sex marriage have evolved over the last few years.  It wasn't politically expedient for Obama to support "gay marriage" back in 2008.  Now he has nothing to worry about.  The sad truth is the president's endorsement of gay marriage isn't going to result in him being voted out in November.  It should but sadly most Americans don't care about moral issues such as sodomy.  A nation that opens it arms to embrace sodomy is headed for God's judgment.  God says it's an abomination.
