NC: Durham City Council votes unanimously for marriage equality resolution

I am very proud of my hometown tonight after attending the Durham (NC) City Council meeting where resolution supporting civil marriage equality for same-sex couples was passed unanimously. In a 7-0 vote, Mayor Bill Bell and council members affirmed marriage equality. While NC does not allow gay and lesbian couples to marry, it is heartening to have the support of your city and our state has turned away, for the sixth time, a state marriage amendment.
