I wanted to let all you poly folk know that the Domestic Partnership Law is set to be implemented beginning January 2nd.
Anyone who would like to participate by supporting those who wish to register their partnership status is invited to help out as announced by BRO (Basic Rights Oregon):
We'll be on site at the Multnomah County Building helping Oregon families gain the recognition they deserve - and we need your help! Join us on January 2nd, 3rd and 4th in Multnomah County to help families register as domestic partners! As the state's population center, we'll need all the help we can get in Multnomah County.
Here are all the details:
Help Oregon families at the Multnomah County Building
Date: January 2nd, 3rd and 4th, 2008
Times: 7:30 am - 12:30 pm, 12:00 - 5:30 pm
Location: 501 SE Hawthorne (Portland)
Contact: Aubrey at Aubrey@basicrights.org or at 503-222-6151 x109
One thing that is pending is an 11th hour effort by activists against equal rights as announced by BRO:
"Basic Rights Oregon has learned that out of state attorneys are currently working with anti-equality activist David Crowe to sue Oregon's Secretary of State over their failed petition drive. These organizations - led by the "Alliance Defense Fund" - have filed a motion seeking to block the implementation of Oregon's domestic partnership law on January 1, 2008."

This will be brought before the courts on December 28th.
It is my hope that the courts will rule in favor of the law which has already been passed and will support the registration of domestic partnerships. Either way, we will be at the courthouse on January 2nd either to celebrate equality or to protest discrimination.
Please "Come Out" to support Equal Rights!
