Long story short, Wikipedia maps really confuse me and I wanted a way to remember what is going on when it comes to this subject , so I made my own map. Original
Since 04/04/2012 North Carolina has a CONSTITUTIONAL Ban on same sex marriage and civil unions
Some more Info: -The federal government does not recognize ANY same sex marriages//unions. This is because of the Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA). -Same Sex Marriage is equal to marriage at the state level -Civil Unions are separate and their equality to marriage (at the state level) depends on the state -Domestic Partner Ships are separate and no where near equal

I honestly hate the state I live in, I was forced to move here by family and same sex marriage is illegal. There are homophobes every where, and it is dangerous for me to even show any sign of who I am in the cities I live in. oh well, I'll be going to college soon, to bad the states with the colleges i want ban same sex marriage too. But then I can move, I'm thinking I'll move to Washington (state), Massachusetts, California if they get things figured out.
MASS IS THE BEST :3
