The Marriage Protection Amendment

On May 8, 2012, after an eightyear legislative battle, the people of North Carolina will finally have the opportunity to vote on a constitutional amendment preserving the institution of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The Marriage Protection Amendment (MPA) vote will determine whether to add the following provision to the North Carolina Constitution: “Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State. This section does not prohibit a private party from entering into contracts with another private party; nor does this section prohibit courts from adjudicating the rights of private parties pursuant to such contracts.
