What about other counties in Oregon?
So now that Multnomah County is issuing same-sex marriage certificates, will other counties start doing the same?
KATU put calls in to several of them to find out what their reaction is and here is what we found out:
Clackamas County
The county has asked for state-wide direction, calling the Secretary of State's office to ask for guidance.
They are currently not issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but point out that couples in Clackamas County can go to Multnomah Count to get a marriage license, which is good anywhere in the state.
Washington County
The county has requested a copy of Multnomah County's legal opinion regarding marriage licenses for gay couples, which it will review.
Until that review is complete, marriage licenses will be issued only to heterosexual couples.
Marion County Capital
Marion County received the opinion of Multnomah County's legal counsel and have referred it to their legal counsel.
Lane County
The county clerk's office has asked for an opinion from its county counsel.
Benton County
The county has had requests to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and are asking their counsel to take a look at what Multnomah County is doing so they can study the issue.
The county does have a nondiscrimination policy that extends to everything they do and that includes sexual preference.
Lincoln County
The county's counsel says they are reviewing the situation.
This is what has been recommended by our Commisioner;
If you are living in Oregon please start a petition in your county to submit to the County Commisioner. Get as many signitures as possible.
We only need 100-thousand voter signatures by July Second to enter a measure to counter this one:
Gay marriage foes pushing initiative measure
March 4, 2004 5:20 PM
Salem-AP -- The sponsor of a proposed state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages in Oregon says he sees a good chance of getting it on the November ballot.
Kent Walton, who is an ordained Church of God minister, intends to do so through an initiative petition.
But he says he would just as soon, see the Legislature convene a special session and send an anti-gay marriage amendment to the voters.
Legislative leaders say there's little chance of that happening.
Walton needs to gather 100-thousand voter signatures by July Second to put his measure on the fall ballot.
