North Carolina Same-Sex Amendment

On May 8^th I will put my voting right to work by voting against the North Carolina Same-Sex Marriage, Amendment 1. North Carolina is attempting to define marriage in the state as between one man and one woman. I do not agree with this act my belief is that marriage should be between two people who love each other and feel that they can spend a lifetime together. Honestly I do not feel that government has the right to tell two people that they can not get married do to their sexuality.

One of the craziest arguments that I have read against same sex marriages such as Rep. Paul Stem who said “They’re going to bring with them their same-sex marriages. They’re going to want to get divorced” and have custody issues, decided, he said. “We’re not equipped to handle that.” Seriously as if heterosexuals do not get married, divorced and have custody issues!?

This should not be an Amendment all should have the right to choose if they would like to get married or not. This is not a place I feel government should be involved. It is a personal choice. I plan on making my voice heard when I voce on Tuesday, May 8^th 2012 hopefully many others follow and do the same.
