National Journal is sourcing another publication with the story that the national Democratic Party will put its support of gay marriage in the party’s platform to be adopted at the Charlotte convention.
In May, North Carolinians overwhelmingly passed the Marriage Amendment — 61% to 39% — which puts into North Carolina’s constitution a traditional definition of marriage — one man and one woman.

Which will come first — a national Constitutional Amendment allowing gay/lesbian marriage, or the last “No on 1″ sign is removed from road sides in NC?

Eric, did it take you a while to work on that one?
I would hardly call this putting it at the center. It is one of many policies and as we all know, from both parties, their platforms don`t always translate into action. Otherwise during the 5.5 years of complete Republican control in 2001-2006 there would have been moves to have a federal constitutional amendment against same sex marriage. Also abortion would have been harder. Neither happened under the GOP watch.
