As if the history of North Carolina isn't filled with bigotry and hate, segregation and intolerance, it was again given a chance to take a step backwards. That is all that this vote did for the people in this state. First it was black people and the federal government had to step in to make a change. But now, under the guise of their religious values, these simple-minded zealots are taking the rights away from people and trying to push their agenda of perceived righteousness and happiness down others throats. It is sad to have to live in a state like this and I know that any responses will be for me to leave then, and go back to Yankeeland (atleast we respect others). But no, i think I'll stay and help to change these backward ways and sit back and smile when this happens.
