Gay rights radicals have no right to impose their views on sexuality on private school students and their parents.
Really, buts its ok for so-called Christians to force their so-called religion on people.
I guess they will also be denying kids of different faiths too..
The folks at North Carolina Values Coalitions are a bunch of racist, homophobic bigots..
No comment is needed on my part,
- ENDA creates a new special right for someone who claims to be homosexual, bisexual, or transgendered to sue business owners.
- Businesses owned by well-meaning and honest people will be forced to give special rights to men who choose to dress and act like women and women who choose to dress and act like men, regardless of the business owners’ own beliefs or religious faith.
- ENDA will pave the way for frivolous litigation that will make lawyers millions on the backs of America's small businesses.
- ENDA could force small businesses across North Carolina to choose between fighting an expensive and lengthy lawsuit and closing up shop.
- ENDA could be used as the instrument with which all businesses in our country will be cleansed of their Christian beliefs or of their opinions that certain jobs are not suitable for those with “gender identity” or “sexual orientation” disorders.
This law sets a dangerous precedent and poses a direct threat to religious liberty in America and our First Amendment freedoms.
is foaming at the mouth, over the fact that NC’s Attorney General Roy Cooper will be giving the Keynote Speech at this year Equality NC Gala in Greensboro. She Feels that since he is the State Attorney who must defend Amendment one shouldn’t be giving speech at this LGBT Gala.
See email from her below,
We need your help immediately.
Right now North Carolina's Marriage Amendment is under attack and the person charged with defending it in court is Democrat Attorney General Roy Cooper, who has made his opposition to the amendment clear in the past.
Now we have learned that Roy Cooper will headline a fundraising event for Equality NC - the very group that is working on the ground in North Carolina to overturn the Amendment we worked so hard to get passed!
This is outrageous!
How can an Attorney General charged with defending the definition of marriage contained in our Constitution also headline an event designed to overturn that very same Constitutional provision?
Clearly he is unwilling to stand up for the Amendment that over 60% of North Carolinians support!
We need your help immediately! We clearly cannot rely on the Attorney General to defend our Marriage Amendment!
Please make an emergency donation today to the NC Values Coalition.
With your donation today, we can make sure everyone in North Carolina knows the Attorney General is more interested in future political ambitions than performing the job he was elected to do.
There is no time to waste - please donate right now!
I feel this is a scam, since no matter how much money they get, thay can’t stop him for speaking at this event. Tami and her goons are just ripping people off, Period. I guess they need this month rent and light bill money…
in other news Cooper had said many time he has defended a law of NC, that he doesn’t agree with, cause it was his job to do. So Tami is just blowing smoke and asking for money to support her political ambitions and her life-style

1. The Marriage Amendment will not adversely affect North Carolina’s economy. A 2011report by the American Legislative Exchange Council ranked states by economic performance between 1999 and 2009 and by economic outlook. 8 of the top 10 economically performing states have marriage amendments. None have legalized same sex marriage, civil unions or domestic partnerships. 9 of the 10 states forecasted to have the poorest economic growth have legalized same sex marriage, civil unions and/or domestic partnerships.
2. The Marriage Amendment Will Not Affect The Enforcement Of Domestic Violence Laws. Opponents would have you think the Amendment obliterates our domestic violence law. The cases they use as authority are Ohio appellate cases later overturned by the Ohio Supreme Court which found the domestic violence statutes consistent with the state’s marriage amendment. In Kansas the outcome was the same. Marriage amendments have had no effect on the enforcement of domestic violence statutes. 30 other states have marriage amendments. In all 30 states domestic violence laws continue to be enforced. I have read and reread our domestic violence statutes. I am unable to even comprehend the logic of this objection.
3. Legally Recognizing Only Heterosexual Marriage Isn’t Discrimination Against Homosexuals Wanting To Marry. Marriage between a man and a woman has existed in virtually every known society. It has served the purpose of channeling procreative sexual activity into an institution which will provide a stable environment for children produced from the sexual union of the partners in marriage. Recognizing that heterosexual marriage has provided the best environment for the rearing of future citizens North Carolina has regulated marriage for at least 340 years. Same sex marriage is an entirely different relationship with a completely different purpose. Expanding the marital institution to other relationships which serve completely different purposes ultimately undermines the institution which has proven to be the best and safest environment for children.
4. The Amendment Will Not Nullify Medical Powers of Attorney (MPOAs), Wills and Trusts if the parties are homosexual partners.
Under G.S. 32A-18 “any competent person who is not engaged in providing health care to the principal for renumeration, and who is 18 years of age or older, may act as a health care agent.” The relationship between the patient and the designated agent does not matter. The intent of the testator and trustor is the “gold standard” in NC for interpreting wills and trusts. The Amendment does not change the intent of the testator in either type of these instruments. The Amendment explicitly states that it will not affect the rights of parties to enter into private contractual agreements.
5. The Marriage Amendment Will Not Determine the Custody and Visitation Rights of Unmarried Parents Unless Their Behavior Affects the Child. Custody orders are based on the “parent”/child relationship, not on the domestic relationship between the “parents”. Courts have based custody and visitation on the “best interest of the child.” NCGS 50-13.2(2007) The sexual behavior of the party petitioning for custody or visitation is not determinative except as it affects the child.
The “de facto parenting doctrine” was applied in 2010 in Boseman v. Jarrell. The Supreme Court refused to allow adoption to an unmarried same sex partner but did award joint custody and visitation rights to that non-biological same sex partner who had become a de facto parent to the child.
I see that Stam is working with the bigots and haters, who would kick their own kids out on to the streets if they are gay..
For those whom don’t know what might happen or for those who wants more information
see below
remember May 8 is when we vote on this Amendment,lets make NC the first State in the South to say we don’t need this amendment..
Also NCVC speaker Tami Fitzgerald, Chairwoman of Vote FOR Marriage NC is so sure this amendment will pass
“We are confident that the federal courts in North Carolina will uphold a state amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and woman,” said Fitzgerald. “We are not California, fortunately. However, our definition of marriage is vulnerable until we put it into our state constitution. That’s what the Marriage Protection Amendment will do. We hope this ruling serves as a powerful reminder to voters that we must make sure activist judges cannot redefine marriage in our state.”
Hey Tami What will your group do if the amendment is voted down.. What will you little sick we are be oppressed Christian group do ? Since you won’t be able to ask the courts for help.. Once voted down, I’m sure the NC people won’t waste time and money to put it back on the ballot..
Vote FOR Marriage NC is comprised of a multitude of policy organizations, denominations, and civic groups. Its Executive Committee consists of the Christian Action League, NC Values Coalition, a coalition of African American pastors, NC Baptists, and the National Organization for Marriage (NOM).
Yes the NC Values have launch their Marriage Websites, and are getting ready to start their campaign of lies and hate..
My Question is? Is our pro-marriage equality groups Ready???
On the NCVC Facebook page they claim the true reason why we (NC) lost the 1300 jobs to South Carolina is because of the Gay’s and that Bev Perdue won’t stand and protect marriage.Yes, Since she had said she will vote against the Amendment, that why NC lost those Jobs..
From NCVC Facebook,
North Carolina Values Coalition
Gov. Perdue throws marriage under the bus and loses 1300 jobs for the State in one weekend. Maybe it's too much to ask of her to multi-task. Since when did protecting marriage hurt job creation? What a ridiculous claim! #NCProtectMarriage #NCGA
Perdue comments on Project Soccer, marriage amendment :: WRAL.com
Gov. Bev Perdue told reporters today she's called GOP legislative leaders to her office Monday for a frank discussion of the failed Continental deal. But she wasn't so frank about her position on the marriage amendment.
They Claim,
They make the claim that she pandering to the LGBT Community, for political reasons and that she is out of touch with NC Value.. Yes she believe that marriage should be one man and one woman, but she is open to civil unions, and domestic partnership. If the Marriage Amendments passes, these types of relationship will be outlaw too. .
So who are the NCVC??
They to be a grassroots network of North Carolinians who support and advocate for pro-family positions, Their Positions are as follows,
- Pro-Marriage: we are committed to protecting the definition of marriage as a union of one man and one woman
- Pro-Life: we are committed to protecting the most innocent among us, the unborn
- Pro-Faith: we believe in freedom of religion and believe that people of faith should not have to check their faith when they enter the public square.
- Parental Choice: we support parents' right to play a role in directing their children's education, including choices such as charter schools, home schooling and private schools.
Currently their website has issues, (click here). Yet just like NOM, they use stock Photographs since none of their members are willing to put their faces to their causes.
on their site this Question is ask and answer. Can’t we have religious marriage and Civil marriage? Their answer is a NO, by the way..
So owns NCVC website?

They want they followers to call her Office, Because she won’t vote for Amendment 1 (the marriage amendment),
The NC Senate will start debating the marriage amendment Monday - without telling the public about it. http://t.co/8vEtnuI
But a new version of the bill leaked to WRAL Friday night shows the bill the committee will take up Monday has absolutely nothing to do with term limits. The new H61 is an amended version of the constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
Berger's chief of staff, Jim Blaine, said late tonight there was no intention to deceive the public or hide the bill. He is earning that paycheck this week..
Events on Monday and Tuesday at NCGA Halifax Mall, Will see a few Rallies.
THE North Carolina Value Coalition will hold a Protect Marriage Rally, from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm (55 rvsp) (please note that there was a pro-gay marriage planned for the same day, from 12 to 2 pm, but it was canceled)
On Tuesday, Equality NC will hold there Marriage Equality Rally (1034 rsvp)..
Equality NC has organized 9 Candle light Vigils across the state.
So hope to see you there, and at one of these vigils.. Please remember that the NCGA gallery is open to the public… Just don’t disrupt Tillis and you will be safe..
As of this Post their FB event only have 39 RSVP’s which really isn’t that much, but we know this group might be busing folks in again from all over the state and a few from out of state, to get their numbers high..
This is one of NC’s very own Hate Groups…
Urgent Christian Action Alert
Calling All Citizen Christians: Your Presence Desperately Needed for the Marriage Rally on Monday, September 12, 10:30 am
Christian Action League
September 8, 2011
Marriage Rally
Monday, September 12
10:30 am
Halifax Mall (behind the Legislature Building) in Raleigh
Bring a Sign with a Positive Message and Take a Stand for Marriage!
RALEIGH — The Rev. Mark Creech, executive director of the Christian Action League, will be one of several speakers leading the North Carolina Values Coalition's Marriage Rally Monday morning at the Legislature.
“North Carolina invests in itself when it allows its citizens to vote on protecting and defending marriage. We urge the Legislature to take this important step for their state, and join the majority of states nationwide in approving a ballot vote on marriage,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. The FRC's legislative arm is running radio ads promoting Monday's rally and urging listeners to ask state lawmakers to support Senate Bill 106, which would allow voters to amend the state Constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman. The ads running on some 20 stations throughout the state, target specifically about a dozen lawmakers, including representatives Chuck McGrady, Michael Wray, Winkie Wilkins, Annie Mobley, Garland Pierce, Elmer Floyd, Larry Bell, Charles Graham, Earline Parmon, Jim Crawford, Glen Bradley and Senator Eric Mansfield.
One ad features Rev. Patrick Wooden Sr., of the Upper Room Church of God in Christ in Raleigh explaining that marriage is at risk and that "powerful voices in our state capitol are threatening your right to vote on marriage." "It's not about party, it's about marriage," the ads say.
Leaders of the effort will be reminding lawmakers that defining marriage in our general statutes is not enough, especially considering the rulings of activist judges in other states. North Carolina remains the only state in the southern U.S. that has not allowed voters to decide on protecting marriage in its State Constitution.
Join the rally!!! Let lawmakers feel your presence, as well as hear your voice!!! To find out more on this issue, log onto http://www.ncvalues.org

Myth: “The Marriage Amendment will take away rights from gay and lesbian citizens.”
Truth: The Amendment Does Not Take Away Rights:
Myth: “The Marriage Amendment will prevent businesses from continuing to offer benefits to same-sex partners.”
Truth: The Amendment Does NOT Prevent Businesses from Offering Benefits to Same-Sex Partners:
Myth: “The Marriage Amendment will harm recruiting efforts of businesses.”
Truth: The Amendment Will Not Hurt Business Recruitment:
Myth: “The Marriage Amendment will result in writing discrimination into the Constitution.”
Truth: The Amendment is not about discriminating against anyone. It is about preventing radical redefinition of marriage, families, and the natural process of producing and raising children within the safe, nurturing, and successful incubator of marriage.
Myth: The ban on gay marriage is like the bans on interracial marriage.
Truth: Gay marriage is totally different from interracial marriage.
Myth: The Marriage Amendment is a political issue.
Truth: There is nothing political about protecting marriage. It is the right thing to do.
Myth: It would be a good compromise to allow domestic partnerships or civil unions, while recognizing that marriage is only the union of one man and one woman.
Truth: Domestic Partnerships and Civil Unions are just a “stepping stone” to legalizing gay “marriage.”
Myth: Gay “marriage” is inevitable, because the tide of public opinion is turning.
Truth: North Carolinians and Americans still overwhelmingly believe marriage should be defined as the union of one man and one woman.
Myth: Same-sex “marriage” doesn’t hurt me or anyone else.
Truth: Same-sex “marriage” hurts everyone.
Myth: Divorce is a bigger threat to marriage than gay “marriage.”
Truth: Same Sex-Marriage will not reduce the number of divorces but will remove what gives marriage institutional structure.
Myth: Homosexuals should be allowed to “marry” because they love each other.
Truth: Giving feelings priority over form and commitment will make the marriage crisis worse, not better.
