President Obama’s campaign is now on the record against North Carolina’s hateful Amendment One, which would define marriage as “between one man and one woman” and ban recognition of same-sex marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships. His campaign issued a statement saying the amendment was discriminatory<\/a>. \u201cWhile the President does not weigh in on every single ballot measure in every state, the record is clear that the President has long opposed divisive and discriminatory efforts to deny rights and benefits to same sex couples,\u201d said Cameron French, his North Carolina campaign spokesman. \u201cThat\u2019s what the North Carolina ballot initiative would do \u2013 it would single out and discriminate against committed gay and lesbian couples \u2013 and that\u2019s why the President does not support it.\u201d<\/p>\n
