Duke’s Home City Passes Marriage Equality Resolution

3681852333_c77f9e6daeThe city council of Durham, NC, the home of Duke University, has put together a resolution that is very favorable to marriage equality.  More from WUNC:

The city of Durham joins Chapel Hill and Carrboro in its support of civil marriage rights for same-sex couples. The Durham city council voted unanimously Monday night in favor of a resolution supporting same sex marriage.

State law prohibits same sex marriage, but Weaver says his resolution is aimed at changing minds one city at a time. Statewide polls show a majority of North Carolina voters oppose same sex marriage.
