And Now in Oregon!

A friend in Port­land just informed me that she was at the Mult­nom­ah Coun­ty cour­t­house (or wher­ev­er it is that issues mar­riage licens­es there) today. She was told that tomor­row they will begin issu­ing mar­riage licens­es for gays and les­bians. The Ore­gon civ­il code stip­u­lates that mar­riage is legal for “males at or over the age of 17, and females at or over the age of 17.” It does­n’t stip­u­late that mar­riage must be between a male and a female. So there ya go.
