and how could i miss talking about multnomah county's foray into the gay marriage liberation front? multnomah county is apparently now granting marriage licenses for same-sex marriages (one of four places in the nation to do so, i believe). thanks, leopoldo, for being the first person to notice this! (michael burton also found a copy of the county attourney's opinion that started this whole thing). interesting to note: marriage licenses here come w/ a 3-day waiting period (which can be waived by the deputy county clerk), and a marriage license granted here can be used anywhere in the state of oregon. i suppose we'll see how true that is in 2 more days.
[update 03.04: i was out & about town and yes, there are protesters for both sides outside multnomah county buildings (the ones near the hawthorn bridge). i honked & waved at the ones w/ the rainbow "love is for everyone" signs rather than the ones w/ the "my family is straight & caucasion: don't we count?" signs.]
[update 03.05: elizabeth & jill got married! hooray!]
