Associated Baptist Press - Baptists split on NC gay marriage ban: The Southern Baptist Convention-affiliated Baptist State Convention of North Carolina was one of several faith groups who backed the amendment under an umbrella campaign called Vote for Marriage NC.
More progressive Baptist voices, meanwhile, said the amendment was about more than just marriage. Opponents cited larger issues including religious liberty and unintended consequences the amendment might have on people like single mothers. Three Baptist organizations -- the Alliance of Baptists, Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America and the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists -- opposed the amendment in an unprecedented joint campaign titled “Many Voices, One Love.”
