From the McDowell News:
Earlier this week, the McDowell County Commissioners approved a resolution endorsing a proposed amendment to the N.C. Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman.
However, some groups that are opposed to Amendment One said the action by McDowell commissioners supports discrimination against not only same-sex couples but many heterosexual couples as well.
