- Tony Foriest. Video: Tony Foriest 4 Congress. 10 April 2012. "It's just amazing to me that we're spending so much energy and time on this marriage amendment because we have laws that outlaw marriage between people of the same gender. But the problem is people have a social way of looking at things, and because they are not being affected in other area, they want to force their social agenda on everybody throughout the stats, and you're talking about changing the Constitution and even the speaker of the North Carolina House said even if it passes it's going to be overturned shortly. So why even go through that? Why would you want to build discrimination into our constitution? It doesn't make any sense to me, and we ought to spend that time trying to really solve some of the problems that need our attention." (youtu.be)
