A bill was submitted on Tuesday which aims to make gay marriage illegal in North Carolina, notes WCNC.
Four Republican state lawmakers are behind the proposed legislation, called the "Uphold Historical Marriage Act," or House Bill 780.
The document, which has since been posted online, argues that a majority of the state's voters—61 percent—had supported the Marriage Amendment of 2012 whichWNCN explains "prohibited North Carolina from recognizing or performing same-sex marriages or civil unions."
The bill goes on to criticize the U.S. Supreme Court for ruling in 2015 that gay marriage was, in effect, a legal right. In fact, the authors state that the high court's decision "overstepped its constitutional bounds."

ReplyDeleteIf you like it so much, you should move to NC. Bible thumping hypocrites fit right in there.
ReplyDeleteNon-Bible thumpers despise gays as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's a perversion and they have no right to force their way into a religious union between man, woman and God.
