North Carolina votes on Gay Marriage

North Carolina voters decided if they wanted to lift the constitutional ban on gay marriage on Tuesday.

Leaders in the community have stepped forward, showing support for both sides of the national debate.

President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton released statements urging voters to reject the amendment.

Rev. Billy Graham, a noted evangelist from North Carolina, has been featured in newspaper ads favoring the amendment.

If North Carolina votes in favor of the constitutional ban, it will become the 29th state to define marriage as an institution between a man and a woman.
