North Carolina voters have overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as solely between one man and one woman. While North Carolina law already bans same-sex marriage, the amendment means civil unions and potentially other types of domestic partnerships will no longer be recognized. With Tuesday’s vote, North Carolina becomes the 30th state to ban gay marriage, and more states will consider the issue later this year.
