North Carolina Governor McCrory Responds to U.S. Supreme Court Ruling  

NC GovRaleigh, N.C.— Governor Pat McCrory issued the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court announced its ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, stating that states cannot ban same-gender couples the right to marry in all 50 states.

“Like many North Carolinians, I still believe the definition of marriage should be determined by the states and it should be the union between one man and one woman. However, I took an oath to uphold the constitution which compels me as governor to ensure that North Carolina upholds the rule of law.”
