This Weekend: Zach Wahls Speaks Out Against N.C. Marriage Amendment  

Zach Wahls, whose testimony in support of his two gay moms before the Iowa legislature last year became a viral hit on the web, will speak out against North Carolina's Amendment One at a Saturday afternoon youth event in Charlotte.

Slated for a vote in the May 8 primary elections, the amendment would constitutionally ban gay marriage in the state (it's already illegal), as well as civil unions and domestic partnerships -- a move that advocates and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle warn will harm same-sex couples, the elderly, and victims of domestic violence.
