BREAKING: Last Time North Carolina Amended Their Constitution On Marriage, It Was To Ban Interracial Marriage

BREAKING: North Carolina voted to amend their state constitution yesterday to ban same-sex marriage. SHOCKING: The last time North Carolina changed their constitution it was to ban interracial marriage in 1875. I love ya, N.C., but discrimination went out of style years ago. If you agree, please share this on Facebook.

P.S. Don’t forget to say a big, fat thank you to all those who voted NO yesterday. Keep fighting the good fight. We’ll win soon. I just know it.

UPDATED: This nugget originally implied that this was the first time North Carolina had amended its Constitution since banning interracial marriage. In fact, it has been amended in the intervening years. Thanks to Julia Rosen for the correction.
