It’s hard to “move on” when less than 24 hours after the vote families are already under attack here.

'Mecklenburg County Commissioner Bill James asked county staff Wednesday morning about stripping health coverage from domestic partners of gay county employees, which he termed “faux marriage benefits.”

“Now that Amendment One has passed, it obviously is illegal to offer this benefit, as there is now only one ‘domestic legal union’ recognized in the state,” James wrote in an email to other commissioners and county leaders.”

I doubt the couples in Charlotte-Mecklenburg that that have DP benefits are celebrating — Bill James is salivating at the opportunity to undo the sliver of benefits that they have been granted.



Pam Spaulding goes on to pronounce this as the death knell for the anti-gay movement -- i however find them to be like zombies --
