Deceased former North Carolina U.S. Senator Jesse Helms would be proud of North Carolina today --- if he were alive. The racial segregationist and unreconstructed southern conservative died in 2008 after serving a record 5 terms as Republican U.S. Senator for North Carolina.
On Tuesday, May 8th, 2012, the obdurate North Carolina voters approved a constitutional amendment defining marriage as strictly between a male and a female.
North Carolina joins 30 other states in approving this constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Polls, however, show that the nation's mood is softening on the issue.
