Not so inevitable, after all

Voters in North Carolina sent a resounding message to the rest of the nation. From Politico:
North Carolina overwhelmingly voted Tuesday in favor of a state constitutional amendment defining marriage between one man and one woman as the only legal union recognized by the state.

The vote makes North Carolina the 30th state to adopt a ban on gay marriage. While North Carolina law already bans same-sex marriage, the amendment means civil unions and potentially other types of domestic partnerships will no longer be recognized legally by the state.

Three cheers for the Tar Heel State! No longer can the intelligentsia in the media-political-entertainment establishment lecture us about the growing and unstoppable movement in America in favor of gay "marriage." There may be segments where that is the case, but large swaths of the nation are, thankfully, still not budging.
