An on-going problem for the United States is whether or not same sex marriage should be allowed. This has been a problem for many states and both sides of the argument have valid explanations on why it should or should not be allowed. One of the most common cases is Califonias "proposition 8". But now North Carolina voted to put constitutional same-sex marriage ban on the ballot. The house won 76-41 and needed atleast 72 to pass this onto the senate. Some defense is that people claim the only legal and right marriage is between a man and a woman. Some also claim that marriage doesn't matter who your with, as long as you love your partner. This amendment would have zero impact on zero impact on private employees and whether they choose to offer same-sex benefits to their employees. This relates to equal protection because everyone should be protected by the government whether they are gay or not. And in some cases the government does not include the protection for gays.
