sour north carolina
wants you to know allowed and clear that that is a state
and i have friends in north carolina have as some very good friends relatives
good friends
repair latest surrounded by do specs
of with all due respect north carolina and
far as i can tell you get great truck stops down there
then now and i stopped on one of the places on the ninety five
excel for the borders in south carolina
but as far as i remember uh... there's a whole lot of uh... uh...
forty-year-old science
iru ninety five as you getting close to self the border
and that's in joy a bull
and of course it's the um...
home of the uh... the democratic national convention
lecture from leo i might probably have to but
amendment wind to the constitution
prohibits the state validation or recognition of joe mastek legal unions
unless it is a marriage between a man or a woman
understand that there was already statutes
in north carolina
made
gay marriage
marriage between single sex couples
however
domestic rights were recognized in many instances by corporations thereby
companies
adoption rights
these include rights to health care
for domestic partners and for
children of domestic partners
their rights such as
protections if your domestic partner is beating you
and so
when north carolinians talk about the sanctity of marriage whatever that means
relative to the fact that
somehow your marriage is decide defied if
man there is a man or a woman marries a woman
are therefore crap what this does is basically strips away a rights
further strips away a rights from gay people
the uh...
provision passed
pretty handily
they were uh... this came of course uh... this band came up
constitutional ban of came up because uh... republicans took over the state
legislator and uh...
north carolina for the first time in two thousand tenant over
well hundred and forty years
all eleven states
beginning union
uh...
or tuesday in
the confederacy
now i'll have constitutional bands i believe there are thirty d thirty one
states in the country that ban gay marriage
think the constitution is only been amended it in the
those southern states
uh... it's a real shame and
while i think there's a good argument that we're gonna see progress towards
uh...
full citizenship for gay people in this country you know
supreme court certainly not amenable
and uh... national republicans certainly not amenable
north carolina has a pretty big that research triangle their miseries like
our research triangle because it's trying to open the lottery search that
happens there
and of course uh... the amendment failed by i think uh...
four-to-one margin
in that area
i'm agin you'll see something of a brain drain slightly
it really is stunning and uh...
hopefully we will
this'll be the last of it
dinosaur wags its tail twenty minutes before uh... twenty minutes after ted's
been uh... chopped off early says what they tell me
and so hope without war saying here is the sort of last vestige
uh... these big it
