In 2012 the NC State Legislature proposed Amendment One.

This was a change to the NC Constitution and prohibited the state from recognizing or performing same-sex marriages, civil unions or civil union equivalents by defining male–female marriage as “the only domestic legal union” considered valid or recognized in the state. In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the People’s Alliance, hear a panel of organizers and elected officials tell the history of the local reaction to Amendment One.
