In response to "I know NC gets a lot of heat for their vote on gay marriage, but they're only the latest in a long line of states. Why pile on NC?" by Mop (198 lbs)

The national mood is swinging in favour of gay marriage, so the NC vote is seen as a bigger step back than the earlier votes.

Also, the NC proposition went beyond to banning all civil unions, which I don't believe the other states did. So it had repercussions on a lot more people - and for what reason?

Responses:

For what reason? Because the pro-amendment people did a better job of convincing people it was in their best interest to do it. I honestly don't - sycor May 11, 13:53 1
- I don't know why - you tell me. But to a lot of people, the result seems like "oh, if we have civil unions we have to allow civil unions for gays?" - Roger More May 11, 14:05
