North Carolina approves constitutional same-sex marriage ban

North Carolina voters have passed a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. The law already exists in the state, and this adds it to the state's charter.

So a law just wasn't enough for them. How upsetting.

From MSNBC:

North Carolina voters Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a proposed amendment to the state’s constitution which limits marriage to traditional one man-one woman marriages.

With half the precincts reporting, the amendment was winning in a landslide, with 60 percent of the vote.
One noteworthy pattern was that some majority black counties which had strongly backed President Obama in 2008 just as strongly supported the proposed amendment on Tuesday.
