Lesbian seeking marriage license arrested in NC
CBS ^ | 5/10/2012 | ap

- A lesbian who sought a North Carolina marriage license with her partner and was rejected under a state law banning same-sex marriage was arrested with another person Thursday after they refused to leave a government office where several gay and lesbian couples were turned away.

The civil disobedience followed a day after President Barack Obama publicly endorsed same-sex marriage, and two days after North Carolina voters overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as solely between a man and a woman.

The protest came amid attempts by a gay rights group, Campaign for Southern Equality, to broaden public support to allow same-sex marriage and more protests are planned in coming days at other county offices in North Carolina that issue marriage licenses.

Nine gay and lesbian couples each presented completed forms and identification to a clerk at the local Register of Deeds office in Winston-Salem, but were refused because state law recognizes only heterosexual couples.

Sexual deviants demanding legitimacy.

Methinks the revolution is starting.

‘Woman arrested for blocking government office’

Wouldn’t that be a more accurate headline?

It’s the same headline as on the linked story. Headline adulteration is highly frowned upon here.

My NC FB friends are still crowing. Geez, you think Tuesdays epic azz-kicking would slow them down but I don’t think they are smart enough to think.

What was the percentage in Onslow and Craven counties? Big military towns, so I was wondering how the new gay-approved military voted.

Lesbian seeking marriage license

That sounds almost like some DoD weapon like heat seeking missile

I keep waiting to see some Lockheed Martin fellow explain -

'It weighs approximately 195 pounds and can accelerate from 0 to moonbat in 2.3 seconds. The Lesbian seeking marriage license displaces a tremendous amount of force and spreads lethal amounts of AIDS upon impact. We are expecting to greatly ramp up production in order to meet the US military's demand.'

Onslow County and Carteret County went around 72-76% for the Amendment 1, Wilmington was the only City in NC to vote overwhelming for the Amendment. Basically East of Hwy 95 is conservative. One other interesting note from the NC primary. Mitt may claim a victory, but he should seriously take notice that 44% of Republicans voted for anybody but Mitt. Mitts people be warned moving to far left of right could cost him NC.

73% and 64%, respectively. Seems those military towns aren’t as “gay-approving” as the Obama administration’s military polling stated.
