Legalize Gay/Lesbian Marriage
This petition was published by Grant Nuss on Apr 22, 2012
We, the undersigned, call upon the North Carolina State Legislation, to overthrow The North Carolina Same-Sex Marriage Amendment, that would ban same-sex marriage permanently from the North Carolina state constitution.
Everywhere we look in America, we see that there is no prejudice against gender, race, sexual preferences, religions preferences, etc. This is found in every day life, including, but not limited to: Jobs, political parties, voting, etc. Why should it be allowed to pass an Amendment that goes against our freedoms as American citizens, so that we do not turn into another country that prohibits things such as same-sex marriage?
If we allow this amendment to happen, we are allowing ourselves to cripple our rights and freedoms in American society. Judgment should never be passed upon a human being for what they wish to do, as long as it is not causing harm to another in any way whatsoever. Yet, state legislatures are doing just that. Prohibiting a person's way of life. A way they are, who they are, and how they live comfortably.
We were able to make it so that race was not an issue, and can be treated as equals. We made it so that women and men alike have equal rights. Why is it that gays/lesbians/bi-sexuals cannot have the same equal rights as the rest of the nation?
We must come together as a group, and peacefully petition this amendment to NOT get passed!
