BREAKING: NC Gov. Pat McCrory To Veto Magistrates Marriage Refusal Bill

"I recognize that for many North Carolinians, including myself, opinions on same-sex marriage come from sincerely held religious beliefs that marriage is between a man and a woman. However, we are a nation and a state of laws. Whether it is the president, governor, mayor, a law enforcement officer, or magistrate, no public official who voluntarily swears to support and defend the Constitution and to discharge all duties of their office should be exempt from upholding that oath; therefore, I will veto Senate Bill 2." - North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, via press release. Now we wait for an override attempt.
