Civil Unions Law Takes Effect in Oregon

posted by on February 1 at 17:07 PM

The Portland Mercury’s Amy J. Ruiz—formerly the Stranger’s Amy Jenniges—was at the Federal Courthouse all day, and will be posting details and updates at the Portland Mercury’s blog.

Good deal. It's separate and unequal to marriage, but it does good for couples in Oregon.

At 4:20, *everything* seems effective. Everything tastes like sunshine, too.

Mother of god -- 4:20...

Just when I thought the world was off its rocker, this happens. I'm very happy.
