In response to the proposed amendment banning same-sex marriage, a new coalition has formed. Protect NC Families is serving as a counterpoint to similarly-named anti-gay groups, such as the American Family Association, the Family Research Council and the Family Research Institute. At their website, you can gain information pertaining to the specific language of the bill and some of its logical effects on child custody laws, domestic violence protection, civil unions and the domestic partner benefits offered by local (city) governments.

The section I found particularly useful allows you volunteer to spread the word. It’s important for voters to understand exactly what the language of this amendment entails; how it’s inclusion into the NC Constitution will have immediate and direct effects on the lives of citizens across North Carolina. Remember, same-sex marriage is already disallowed in NC. This amendment will codify the discrimination while introducing a whole slew of auxiliary harmful effects to non-traditional couples.

Join HonestNC and thousands of others at our rally/march on the capital on March 15th, and join Protect NC Families in their effort to spread awareness.
