NC Amendment One

I happen to be in Chapel Hill this week, so I've got a ring-side seat for the Amendment One debate and vote--that is, as you probably know, the proposal to add a same-sex marriage/civil unions ban to the NC constitution.

Sadly, Amendment One seems destined to win. Although Chapel Hill and Carrboro are full of No On One signs, from the state line to Chapel Hill we saw exactly one No sign, but innumerable Yes signs. The amendment is expected to pass by about 15% of the vote.

C'mon, NC. Surprise us all and do the right thing.
