Btw, NC banned all forms of civil union today. The only valid union is marriage between and man and woman.

I haven't quite figured out what this means if my wife and I moved to NC to be closer to my family (we have a civil union in California).

As I understand it, this is why a number of people think the amendment will be shot down by the courts. I believe it was also why a number of (fiscal) conservatives were even campaigning against it - it would be a waste of money to put a nonsense amendment to a vote, defend it in court, then lose, especially when gay marriage was already illegal. There's apparently a number of questions about how this impacts things like insurance coverage, child custody rights, etc, for non-married civil unions between men and women.
