Abstract:

Tracy Hollister, a gay rights activist, rallied individuals from the OutRaleigh festival to voting booths to vote against Amendment 1, that anti-gay marriage amendment. Despite these and other efforts to defeat Amendment 1 it passed 61-38 percent. With its passage, gay marriage can now only be recognized if a federal measure affording equal rights to homosexual couples is passed by the Supreme Court.
