Supporters of a constitutional amendment on May’s ballot to ban gay marriage in North Carolina began their campaign in earnest Monday, saying the measure would protect one man and one woman unions from those who want to expand what’s legal.
The “Vote FOR Marriage NC” coalition is made up largely of conservative-leaning groups, ministers and Southern Baptists who want voters to approve a constitutional amendment to make clear marriage is only between a man and a woman.
State law already makes that distinction, but coalition chairwoman Tami Fitzgerald said an amendment would protect marriage from activist judges and lawmakers who want to allow gay marriage. Amendment supporters have cited as proof a Guilford County lawsuit filed last month challenging the state’s involvement in licensing traditional marriages and, in turn, denying licenses for same-sex couples.
