State senator seeks amendment to ban same sex marriages (NC)

[ccharles000]

RALEIGH — Once again a state lawmaker is working to put an amendment that would ban same-sex marriages before state voters and possibly into the N.C. Constitution.

State Sen. Jim Forrester, R-Gaston, who authored a law in the 1990s banning such unions, filed the proposed change this past week as lawmakers returned for the short session of the General Assembly. He’s filed similar bills in other legislative sessions.

“I keep swinging that bat,” Forrester said. “Sooner or later we’re going to get a hit on it.”

Supporters of the ban say laws written in into the Constitution carry more weight than mere statutory laws. They believe it’s less likely that a state judge will declare such a prohibition unconstitutional.

3. So tired of these F'en misfits out to condemn/punish someone. That's how they

get their jollies off. A bunch of bat bashing perverts. Damn I wish Americans would wake up and put these jerks back into their box.
