OR County Bans All Marriage
Thought this was interesting. From cnn.com: Oregon County Bans All Marriage
It appears that Benton County OR has banned all marriages until the state decides the issue.
"It may seem odd," Benton County Commissioner Linda Modrell told Reuters in a telephone interview, but "we need to treat everyone in our county equally."
Bravo Ms. Modrell. Bravo!

Every once in awhile Oregon struggles to regain that forward thinking attitude it was once known for.

Ha! I've been waiting for something like this. Amazing! Shouldn't they be focusing on the underfunded schools or something important like that?

I 've yet to understand how allowing gay marriage will hurt my marriage. Good job Oregon.
