State Constitutions: Where Bigotry's A Right

North Carolina amends the state Constitution to limit marriage, again:

Like the amendment pictured above, this amendment will be looked upon as a disgrace and will eventually be overturned.  Supporters of gay marriage are working to get a repeal of the gay marriage ban in the Ohio Constitution overturned next year.  Unfortunately, I think it is too early.  For one, they need to put it on the ballot in a presidential election when people other than old folks are voting.  For another, I don't think public opinion has shifted enough in Ohio.  It could possibly pass in 2016, but will likely pass in 2020.
