[0]Governor Kulongoski Sings Landmark Bill Summer 2007Today the Oregon Secretary of State announced that opponents of Oregon's Landmark Domestic Partnership bill failed to collect enough signatures to refer the new law to the ballot. In January 2008, the state will begin granting same sex couples the legal benefits of marriage, benefits heterosexual couples have long enjoyed. LGBT couples and families will find comfort in the recognition the law provides.

The victory for the GLBT community of Oregon's Domestic [0]The benefits of Marriage are a long time coming.Partnership Law is especially sweet, due to the fact that Oregon is the only state that has granted partnership benefits after a statewide constitutional amendment denying same sex couples the right to "marry."

[0]We do!Portlanders and Oreognians have a lot to be proud of today. We are thankful for the tireless efforts of Basic Rights Oregon [1] and the GLBT community for making our state a place where our relationships and families are supported.
