The 14th Amendment Will Help Gay Marriage

     Adrienne Morris states her opinion on gay marriage and how the 14th Amendment is the means for the ratification of legal gay marrriage. She starts by proving that homosexuals are discriminated against to a point that they are denied their right to marriage. Then she states that this discrimination takes place due to the majority opposition. It is implied that the 14th Amendment was put into place to protect such a scenario: the rights of citizens cannot be limited out of discrimination and opposition.

     It is my personal belief that sexual orientation is not determinned to be a factor of discrimination in the constitution for the founding fathers were not concerned of the such. I do not think that gay marriage should be legalized in America, and I, personally, do not think that it is supported in the 14th amendment.

Tillis Wins the Race

     This blog is a response to my earlier blog reporting the outrageous cost of the North Carolina senate race. The race totaled 81 million in outside funders and Tillis came out on top. Each of the 114,000 TV ads was vital to his victory as he only trumped his opponent, Hagan, 48.95 percent to 47.14 percent. He won by 125, 000 North Carolina voters. The victory gave majority Republicans to the senate and marks one of the quickest rise in politics for Tillis, as he was a simple town commissioner just eight years ago.
     I think that it is inevitable for a race so highly advertised to be so close; I am frankly surprised that more voters just decided to vote for the independent candidate out of annoyance of advertisements.
