North Carolina may join list of states banning same-sex marriage
Legislators in North Carolina are pushing a proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriages in the state, even though there is already a law prohibiting them. Democrat Rep. Lorene Coates and Republican Rep. Fred Steen II are calling their bill a "defense of marriage" and say they are simply standing up for their beliefs. Afraid of courts who might rule in favor of civil rights, the legislators want to pre-empt any chance of same-sex marriages, claiming they will eventually lead to someone "marrying his dog." The legislators also say the support for the bill has been overwhelming.
