A group opposed to the marriage amendment will march from N.C. State University to the state legislature Thursday, with organizers promising "several thousand" participants.
The march is organized by HonestNC, a group of community organizers from the university. Organizer Matt Huffman said the demonstrators oppose "adding discrimination to the state's founding documents ... hits right at the heart of our idea of civil unity and threatens the core legitimacy of our social mores."
After the march, the group will gather for a rally on Halifax Mall to "show our representatives in state legislature that citizens of the populace will not stand idly by while civil rights are cut off from a portion of our group," the announcement says.
