[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You realize that this is just not about gay marriage.

Children of cohabitating couples are at risk of losing insurance.  The fact is that a handful of cities that offer domestic partner benefits will now have to revoke them due to the amendment passing. Those local governments include Greensboro, Asheville and Chapel Hill, as well as Mecklenburg County (Charlotte).

There are a number of other "possible impacts" that depend on how the amendment is interpreted. Among those potential impacts are:

•Custody and visitation rights for unmarried parents could be curtailed. 
•Non-married partners may see rights revolving around hospital visitation and emergency medical decision-making curtailed. 
•Non-married partners could lose some standing to make decisions after a partner has died and estate planning could be more difficult for non-married couples.

The last time North Carolina amended their constitution on marriage it was to ban interracial marriage.[/quote]

Well put, don't you think people who voting agisnt it would be in favor of exactly wha tyou said if they presented it that way?

I know I would and I would have voted against the marriage between same sex people but I support their rights.  [/quote]
