Pastors react to appeals court ruling that would affect N.C.'s Amendment One

From North Carolina-

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' decision Monday to strike down Virginia's same-sex marriage ban will also affect North Carolina's Amendment One. To what degree and when, we're still waiting to find out.

Monday's 2-1 ruling applies throughout the circuit that also includes West Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas and adds to the growing list of decrees on a hot-button issue that will likely end up being decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Two years ago on May 8, 2012, the controversial Amendment One passed in North Carolina with about 61 percent of the vote, defining marriage between one man and one woman as the only legal domestic partnership recognized in the state. And in Cleveland County, 80 percent of the people who voted that day voted for the amendment and to specify that marriage is only between a man and a woman.
