I don't agree with the decision in NC, but the result doesn't bother me as it does many other people online. Change is not an immediate on/off switch; it's a slow process and in some places slower than others.
Same-sex marriage in Canada has only been legal since 2005, not 1867. If it was put to the public even 25 years ago, I'm sure a similar result as NC would have occurred. Different countries and states are going to adopt this in different time frames. Attitudes will change, and I'll bet there will be a different result in another ten years.
