North Carolina voters overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as solely between a man and a woman, but not much is expected to change immediately.

North Carolina voters have approved a constitutional amendment defining marriage solely as a union between a man and a woman, making it the 30th state to adopt such a ban.

LGBT North Carolinians continue to fight a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships in the state. Voters will vote on Amendment One in May after lawmakers approved the referendum earlier this month.
