So here's the short of it, 
North Carolina voted in Amendment 1.

And here's the long.

FACT: The last time North Carolina amended their constitution on marriage it was to ban interracial marriage.

I'm deeply disappointed that North Carolina voted to approve Amendment 1.  

I am going to defer to a blogger who has addressed this much more eloquently than I ever could.  I hope you'll read this post at Crumbs From the Communion Table.
