Civil Unions Bill Won't Get House Vote
July 21, 2005
The Oregon House will not be granting civil unions to gays and lesbians. That's the upshot of a committee vote Thursday on Senate Bill 1000.
The measure gained support in the Democratic Senate and backers had hoped to convince Republican House Speaker Karen Minnis to allow an up or down vote on civil unions.
But as Colin Fogarty explains, that is not to be.
