Most of them think it means a brother and his sister or first cousins, the South is brain fried with Jesus and creationisim. Praise Jesus and pass the cornbread.
The article states that Southeastern states such as North Carolina are generally more liberal because of their increasingly diverse populations but we must not forget that it was in North Carolina that a recent referendum voted in favour of an amendment to the State’s constitution banning not only same sex marriage but other forms of recognition of gay relationships.

On polls done in 2011 Mississippi Republicans still in the stone age!
An April 2011 poll of Mississippi Republican primary voters asked “Do you think interracial marriage should be legal or illegal?”. The responses were “Legal” 40%, “Illegal” 46%, and “Not Sure” 14%.

Slowly, but slowly, the ship of state turns around. But turn, it shall. Patience rewards all.
