Abstract:

North Carolina does not recognize same-sex marriage. In the 2005 General Assembly, conservative legislators are again pushing a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Two bills introduced in both houses call for a statewide referendum on a Defense of Marriage Act. If the legislation passes, North Carolinians would vote on a constitutional amendment to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
