NC Amendment One: The Musical
From Lauren Walters at NYU Local:
In response to North Carolina’s Amendment One, which will appear on the May 8th ballot and would define marriage in North Carolina as between one man and one woman, the students created NC Amendment One: the Musical, which aims to educate viewers and protest the amendment.
From Jen Jones at HuffPo:
North Carolina faces this amendment at the very time when state and national public opinion has shifted against this type of discriminatory legislation. In 2011 America asked, “What’s the big deal?” with no less than six national polls, from Gallup to CNN, showing majority support for marriage equality. Similarly, in our Southern state, polling consistently shows that the majority of North Carolinians support marriage equality or civil unions — recognitions North Carolina’s Amendment One would ban. As a result, time and time again we see that once our state’s citizens actually learn the harms of this discriminatory measure, support plummets, and opposition to Amendment One grows by the day.

Those supporting this hateful amendment of intolerance are neither true Christians nor true conservatives. Regardless of fundamentalist rhetoric, God does not subject those whom he loves to a litmus test of “absolute truth.”
