"The Durham, N.C. city council on Thursday passed a resolution stating its opposition to a proposed state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage... Because of its location in the North Carolina Research Triangle, Durham has been attempting to market itself as a prime location for gay and lesbian couples to live and raise a family... Not only did the city pass a resolution in 2009 expressing its support for marriage equality, but it is also one of three cities in North Carolina — the others being Chapel Hill and Carrboro — which extend domestic partner benefits to gay and lesbian couples."
