Domestic Partnerships in Oregon!

You'll never believe it. Oregon's senate sent a Domestic Partnership bill to the governor yesterday and he's expected to sign it. Gladly and happily. We'll be the 9th in the nation to have such a provision. And, thankfully and appropriately, the Oregon Family Council has stated that they will not seek the signatures to put the bill up to vote for Oregon citizens to decide on. This is the second pro-human being bill to be passed along to Governor Kulongoski in the last several weeks. Check this out too.

So, celebration cake and ice cream? A favorite cocktail? Clink a glass to us today, would you please?

Good for Oregon!
So, have you set a date yet?
We're not so lucky back here in Michigan. They passed a constitutional amendment banning gay marraige and anything simular. Maybe we'll move to Oregon!

Lewis, the passage of DOmestic Partnership legislation in Oregon is definitely something to toast to.

And thanks for posting to my recent blog posts. Yea, maybe if domestic partnership legislation and gay marriage were more widespread, perhaps some of the closeted gay sex scandals we have been reading about recently could have been avoided. Instead it would have been a down and dirty divorce proceeding instead.
