I'll take a risk and voice another dissenting opinion. Am I missing something here? If the majority of voters in a particular area vote against something, why is that wrong? The minority is free to stay and try to educate or free to leave and go where their views are better tolerated or even accepted. There are 49 other states to which they can relocate.
There is definitely something called the tyranny of the majority, something our Founding Fathers thought about a lot when they wrote the Constitution and put together the branches of government.
A more inflammatory example is perhaps WWII Germany though I don't equate the good citizens of North Carolina at all to the Nazis.
