North Carolina voters approve gay marriage amendment
Los Angeles Times | May 8, 2012 | 6:15 p.m.
North Carolina voters on Tuesday approved Amendment 1, a fiercely debated amendment to the state constitution that would define marriage as between a man and a woman, according to the Associated Press. The measure effectively bans not only same-sex marriages but also civil unions, making it one of the strictest of the marriage amendments approved in 29 states.
Critics said Amendment 1 would deny rights to unmarried heterosexual couples. In the campaign's final days, former President Clinton recorded automated phone calls opposing the measure, while evangelist Billy Graham, 93, supported it.
