North Dakota group opposes anti-gay amendment

A gay rights group in North Dakota, Equality North Dakota, has begun fund-raising to oppose the upcoming vote on a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Their chairman, Robert Uebel, says he is targeting young people because the amendment would create an intolerant environment for their future. State Representative, Mary Ekstrom, agreed, saying it's a "matter of morality to me that everyone have equal protection under the law." The North Dakota Family Alliance, who put the amendment on the ballot, refused to be part of a forum held by the North Dakota Human Relations Commission, saying it's biased.
