What is important here is that it passed the OR house by a 51 to 8 vote.

It isn’t quite marriage, I don’t have the details, but it is an enormous step, and even more so the vote shows that the walls of hatred are tumbling down.

I think that is actually a religious quote about Jericho. time to rewrite the bible.

“The vote came after a gay man was kicked out the hospital room”. I wonder if the nurse was a “good christian”

We need full marriage eqauilty in all 50 states. We are not trying to redefine anything. We just want to be treated fairly and take care of our own.
I find it so hard to understand why some groups are so opposed to this.
When I was young my mom taked about people that just went to the court house as not really being married. But that is what most gays want is just the civil rights.

The man that was denied to see his partner should file a lawsuit against the hospital and that nurse. I bet then every hospital in Oregon will make sure to follow the law.

Well, DUH!!! Of course it is confusing… it is NOT EQUAL. Go for Marriage Equality Oregon… stay in the forefront!
