The Moore County Board of Commissioners unanimously passed a resolution Tuesday supporting “voter participation” on the controversial North Carolina Same-Sex Marriage Amendment May 8.
The resolution regarding what is being commonly referred to as Amendment One stopped short of asking voters to support the measure, which specifies that marriage between a man and a woman is the only legal form of union. While same-sex marriage is already banned in the state, the proposed measure would add the ban to the state constitution.
Seven speakers addressed the board prior to the vote. Four opposed Amendment One and three supported it. One of those supporters was Moore County Republican Party Chairman Robert Levy.
