Safe Mode: On
18 Gay and Lesbian Couples Rejected for Marriage Licenses in NC

Since the WE DO Campaign launched on October 3, eighteen same-sex
couples have requested – and been denied – marriage licenses at the
Buncombe County Register of Deeds Office in Asheville, NC. The purpose
of the campaign is calling for full equality under federal law for
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and resisting an
unjust state law in North Carolina that prohibits marriage equality.
Momentum around the campaign grows each day and the campaign’s first
video has been viewed by over 5,500 people in the 24 hours since its
release on October 12. Clergy and volunteers are arriving from across
North Carolina and the United States to participate in a public,
interfaith blessing for LGBT families. This will be followed by a large
public action including a planned act of civil disobedience. The WE DO
Campaign will be expanding to other communities in North Carolina in
coming months.

I hope people in the USA have equal rights soon. Keep pushing everyone.

  • Which ever Judge denied them, Thank You. Marriage is between 1 Man and 1 Woman. Sickos should get counseling and that's about it...

    • @wharris The problem is how legal definition is used by the left. If "gay marriage" is legal, then it becomes "discrimination" if you don't support it. They can't win on message, so they have to dismiss opposing viewpoints, and their favorite way to do that is by calling everybody racist or bigoted. etc. For instance, it gives them the ability to shut down church based adoption agencies that don't cater to same-sex couples. It also gives the schools a greater ability to push More..

  • Gays and lesbians have the same right to get married to a member of the opposite sex as straight people. Straight people cannot get married to a member of the same sex either, what isn't equal again?

  • I can help you get married. Come to Canada! We treat people as people. And don't worry, all the evil companies are in the oil sands, not in our food industry.

  • Why have they got kids? Fucking hell.

    • @Miner really? Why does anyone want kids? Because they want to raise them. They want a family. Is that really hard to understand?

    • @Tonezinator Buy a dog. Poofs shouldnt be allowed children inside their home, you really dont think the children will be scarred for life when they hear daddy and his`bear` going hammer and tongs on the otherside of the wall? Grow a brain.

    • @Miner I pity anyone that comes in contact with your ignorance. You're only talking about one type of gay person. I hyper sexualized person. There are lots of straight people like that too. I hope you don't have children.

    • @Miner Straight parents would be just as bad for letting little kids hear that....nice try. The only time it would really affect the kids in my opinion is school..... it could be hell for them.... I am pro gay marriage 100% but on the fence over them raising kids only because the bully factor could be so intense it affects quality of life

  • This is so f*cking stupid. They are free as any other individual in the state. They can go back home and have as much sex as they like. They can live together and own property together.

    I don't agree that government should be involved in marriage, but it is the right of any state to promote whatever kind of marriage or non-marriage it so chooses.

  • The whole gay-marriage argment is just another meaningless distraction from the things in the world that really matter and need our attention but get none of it.

  • I don't understand how something can be legal in one state and illegal in another, be it weed, gay marriage or riding a black horse on a Sunday. I really don't understand how you can have 2 different governments making laws that contradict each other. Someone please explain to me why Washington doesn't just make laws??

    • @TMADON Because that would be bad,
      Imagine if there was a law that you absolutely hated. (Helmet laws for example)

      I personally love the fact that if one state decides to be retarded, and enact a law i just cannot live with, I can simply move to a new state.

      But this is a states rights discussion. And I'm in favor of strong states rights. Weak federal ones.

    • @wharris I can see your point but it's like each state is a separate country each making there own laws.. The reason I can't get my brain around it is because the whole of England has it's laws set by government in London, I understand that we are smaller but I could see it working even if we were as big as the US, it all seems silly (I couldn't think of a better word) Washington says it's illegal to grow weed, yet California says it's legal if you live there?? and I presume it's the same way fo More..

    • @TMADON
      Yep, its reflective of the states actually being their own country or colony at one time.

      Well some of them.

      States Rights are a big enough issue that they made it to the top 10 bill of rights.

  • Why are they always so screwed up looking?
    Are the kids props because last time I checked two men can't have a child biologically, same for two women unless you have a turkey baster.
