The State of North Carolina or any State for that matter, denying anyone the right to marriage, disallowing all the perceived benefits, real or not, whether in a church or a city hall is clear cut discrimination and should be dealt with at the Federal level.

Rejecting someone the right to marry and the benefits thereof is far more serious IMO than an individual baker denying a wedding cake based on religious grounds. Then again in this day and age we seem to prefer to sweat the small stuff and ignore everything else.

Kind of like worrying about the hypothetical effects of carry/conceal in bars while ignoring the dozens killed by guns in most major cities on most weekends and particularly in Chicago, a city with some of the most stringent yet comical gun laws in the country.
