"Polling showed that feelings about the issue were divided in North Carolina as they are across much of the nation: along generational lines, with younger voters opposed to the amendment."
i pity this institution — as if the product of electoral democracy bore even a resemblance — but i also find an absolute anti-patience in being outnumbered in Good Idea by a showing-up-for-being-there group of old, tired people. if showing-up-and-being-there is all it takes to bear even a resemblance, well then . . . why is something that does well — like young people getting together to say that shit is bullshit come our time to say what is and ain't the shit — not be enough of what we need enough to be? why do we say no, ever? or yes?
we should instead, ignore it entirely and refuse the bait at the end of that quote. we've overstayed our welcome and these are not our feelings.

Yeah, NC didn't exactly shine on this issue. Why do we have any voting done during weekdays anyway? Ever other civilized country holds voting on weekends for maximum participation.
To me this is a basic civil rights issue. NC, as a majority, chose to discriminate against gay people this week. They will be on the wrong side of history, as many Southern states are wont to do.
...discriminating against more than just gay people...
It's difficult for me to even express the idiocy that this distinguishes. You've described it well in "old, tired." There's nothing promising about that... only left-over... from before... when 'merica did something great once, long ago, and then resigned itself to the "City on a Hill." That is unless you're interested in protecting the "sanctity of marriage," which is ultimately the only argument FOR the amendment. And that argument is utterly selfish and shameful. There is no sanctity. It's strictly governmental & legal documentation. Anything else is based on yer imagination.
it's a rights issue all the way, something that should never fall subject to popular vote.
if this a do the right thing thing, i don't see how any argument claiming it to not be like Jim Crow holds up..."We respect the negro, but it was clearly defined as 3/5 a person in perfect cursive". I do think this is a fuck you religion thing which is fine, but marriage is a religious ceremony backed by a gov't paper, a symbolic formality more ridiculous than a diamond
