getithereI know this has absolutely nothing to do with B/J fic, but I just wanted to apologize to everyone on behalf of the ignorance of my home state (NC) that we were unable to defeat the amendment on the primary ballot which states that marriage should only be between one man & one woman.
Please know that I was one of the 34% that voted against the damn thing!!!

Date: 2012-05-10 06:02 am (UTC)Damn, was it only 34%? HRC had said 55 to 45, and I wondered why the news kept saying it passed "overwhelmingly," but the against percentages I'm hearing keep dwindling :(
Of course, it would be bad enough if the amendment just said marriage between a man and a woman is the only recognized marriage, but this delightful addition to our constitution says it's the only recognized union. Unmarried hetero couples, you are screwed as well. And your kids.
I feel sure that it will get overturned in time but pray we don't go bankrupt in the process.
President Obama's historic announcement in support of gay marriage was much needed today :)
