In case you were wondering, yes, North Carolina Republicans are bigots

Think Progress:

Emboldened by a recently enacted constitutional amendment prohibiting civil unions and same-sex marriage, North Carolina's Republican party adopted a platform yesterday that condones discrimination on the basis of "sexual orientation." The platform's Article Ill: Individual Liberty states:

Government should treat all citizens impartially, without regard to wealth, race, ethnicity, disability, religion, sex, political affiliation or national origin. We oppose all forms of invidious discrimination. Sexual orientation is not an appropriate category.

The document also argues that "The ideal environment for raising children is a two-parent family with a mother and father who are married and committed to that life-long relationship" and opposes "adoption by same sex couples."

What else is new?
