Gay marriage battles in Michigan and North Carolina
Opponents of gay marriage said Tuesday they will submit more than 400,000 signatures to state elections officials next week to place the issue before Michigan voters in the fall. The group counted 324,000 signatures over the weekend and has been inundated with more since then, anti-gay organizers say. Detroit Free Press
In North Carolina, Senate Republicans said Tuesday they are two signatures short of forcing a vote on whether to send to the Senate floor a proposed state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. GOP leaders, unhappy that their proposal is stuck in committee, said last week they would circulate a petition seeking to remove the bill from the panel and bring to a floor vote whether it should be debated by the full Senate. So far, no dice. Myrtle Beach Online
