Just don’t look back!! :O)
Same-sex couples would receive the same benefits as married couples, and gays and lesbians would be protected against discrimination under bills...
Dumb question but here it comes. Are there any laws in place to protect heterosexual(married) couples from discrimination from GLBT (married) couples?
The voters will repeal this. We just banned same-sex “marriage” in the state constitution two-and-a-half years ago.
Myabe not. There seems to be a big difference between support for “same sex marriage” and “civil unions”. The name makes a huge difference to a lot of people.
For example - it is one of two states that actively allow CCW on college campuses to those with State recognized permits.
Go figure.
CCW?
“CCW?”
carrying concealed weapon
You have the right to remain silent...
Is this a great country, or what?
All you have to do is become part of one of the select "special classes", and you gain rights un-available to others.....
When pressed, I seriously doubt that this will hold up against the 1st amendment.
ping for later
Sad state of affairs.
It’s in the state constitution ~ the only place you can’t carry is in a court room and a Federal building.
It won’t. It shouldn’t have been passed anyway, but leftists never let the Constitution get in the way of what they want.
What else can you expect from a Commie state like Oregon? They even host Jihadist training camps. Oregon leads in the destruction of family values, abortion rights, trying to force people out of their cars and onto mass transportation, taxation without representation, excessive property and income taxes, corruption at every level, etc........
How about local schools? Thought the FedGov banned that as well....
On the plus side in Alaska, you do not need a CCW permit to carry - so we got some things right.
Gotta ping this out.
In Oregon it’s legal to open carry without a permit, just concealed carry needs a permit. Which I think is stupid.
