Rally for defense of marriage amendment
By: News 14 Carolina Staff


Opponents of gay marriage want North Carolina to ensure it doesn't become legal in this state.

They gathered Wednesday at the General Assembly to push for a Defense of Marriage constitutional amendment.

They also want a state constitutional amendment that defines marriage as "the union of one man and one woman at a time."

Group members say marriage is not a partnership, but an institution established by God. They say the only way to protect that is through the constitution.
