After passing both houses of the North Carolina legislature this week, an Indiana-style religious freedom law made its way to the governor’s desk. However, Governor Pat McCrory (R) has spoken out against the bill and has signaled that hill veto the bill to prevent it from becoming law. Via PinkNews:
He said: “I recognise that for many North Carolans, including myself, opinions on same-sex marriage come from sincerely held religious beliefs that marriage is between a man and a woman.
“However, we are a nation and a state of laws.
“Whether it is the president, governor, mayor, a law enforcement officer, or magistrate, no public official who voluntarily swears to support and defend the Constitution and to discharge all duties of their office should be exempt from upholding that oath; therefore, I vetoed Senate Bill 2.”
