From the Raleigh News and Observer:
Lawmakers from Chapel Hill and Orange County will be asked to support the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, which says same-sex marriages in other states can’t be recognized in North Carolina; support adding sexual orientation to the state’s hate crimes law; and oppose a constitutional amendment that would define marriage as between a man and a woman.
Ok, that is Democracy in action. However, did they allow the People of Chapel Hill to vote on it? Nope. More from WRAL, who seemingly stuck around at the meeting a bit longer then the N&O, state that they did vote, and voted against any Constitutional ban. Got some news for the leaders of Chapel Hill: the US and North Carolina Constitutions supercede any stances that the town of Chapel Hill may take. Compliance is mandatory.
(the headline was supposed to read Chapel Hill, not Chapel)
