North Carolina voters Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a proposed amendment to the state’s constitution which limits marriage to traditional one man-one woman marriages.Read the rest here.
With half the precincts reporting, the amendment was winning in a landslide, with 60 percent of the vote.
One noteworthy pattern was that some majority black counties which had strongly backed President Obama in 2008 just as strongly supported the proposed amendment on Tuesday.
For example, Hertford County, with a 60 percent black population, voted for Obama with 70 percent in 2008 and on Tuesday 70 percent of its voters backed the constitutional amendment defining marriage.

Praise be to our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ!
The pharasaical hate mongering - and let's call a spade a spade, because that is exactly it was - in North Carolina was the most un-Christian thing I've witnessed in years. I pray this is not what Orthodoxy is becoming. Folks need to read the Gospels and the Fathers desperately: we are called to one thing - imaging Divine Love. Is that what the "Christian" folk of N. Carolina have been up to?
In NC the "Christian" voting bloc is Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist and black churches, all mixed with an enormous amount of those boy scouts of the occult known as freemasons (think Billy Graham-esque in terms of their political power). If it weren't for the Greek Orthodox congregations in the metro areas there'd be almost nothing Orthodox in the state save a few missions here and there.
Nothing in Orthodoxy compels us to grant government recognition to sodomy.

The only "un-Christian" aspect of the amendment was its vagueness, which was inherently unfair. Otherwise, Christ wisely kept out of political distractions.
