About the Rally to Defend Equality:
On December 28th, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order
which postponed Oregon's Domestic Partnership law from going into
effect on January 2, 2008 as scheduled. Supporters of equality from
across the state will be gathering at Terry Shrunk Plaza on the
evening of January 30th to channel their frustration, anger, and
outrage into positive action
UPDATE: Dear Rosalie,
Two days ago, more than 2,000 of you stood with me in the rain on a chilly Portland night. Thousands more of you were there with us in spirit. Together we raised our voices and we shouted and we chanted and we vowed to do whatever it takes to get Oregon's domestic partnership law back on track.
Today, thanks to you, that's exactly what we did.
Today, Judge Mosman agreed with us that the case brought by out-of-state, anti-gay interests was invalid, and he lifted his earlier order preventing our domestic partnership law from taking effect.
As of 4:25 this afternoon, domestic partnerships are the law of the land in Oregon. Come Monday morning, in all 36 counties of our beautiful state, caring, committed couples can obtain the legal recognition they need to take care of one another.
I am so proud to stand with you all in this movement for equality.
