Abstract:
In another controversial U.S. Supreme Court decisions, the justices struck down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which federally banned same-sex marriage. Unfortunately, for the state's same-sex couples marriage, for them, was made unconstitutional on May 8, 2012 by a state-wide vote. Legal issues and compensation for same-sex couples is still waiting clarification because though DOMA end discrimination federally, states can still determine whether or not to recognize, legally, same-sex marriages.

Abstract:
A group called N.C. Family Policy Council is advocating a state constitutional amendment including the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). If approved, the amendment would make same-sex marriages illegal and homosexual partners would be denied many rights granted heterosexual couples. There is a debate if the passing of SB 106, which will appear on the ballot next spring and outlaw same-sex marriage, contradicts Article 1 of the State Constitution which declares equal rights for all citizens.

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.
