Good news for pro-gender marriage: North Carolina voted in favor of Amendment One, which upholds marriage as one man and one woman. Opponents of the bill were unable to drum up enough support for segregating genders in marriage.

Washington Post reports:
North Carolina voters have passed a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage today via a statewide ballot measure, according the Associated Press.
North Carolina already had a statute banning gay marriage. Amendment One declares that “marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state.”
While the country is about evenly split on gay marriage in polls, supporters have yet to succeed at the ballot box. Statewide ballot measures on gay marriage have come up 31 times since 1998. Advocates for gay marriage lost each time.Although Amendment One opponents call the measure anti-gay, supporters consider it pro-gender and better for children.
