March 4, 2005 — Same-Sex Marriage, One Year Later
part oneMore than 3000 same-sex couples were married in Oregon last spring. But then in November, Oregon voters overwhelmingly decided to ban gay marriage in the state.
But the fight over gay marriage is far from over. The marital status of those same-sex couples remains unclear. There are several challenges to the ballot measure outlawing gay marriage. And there's a strong push to legalize same-sex civil unions in Oregon.
This week, we examine the uncertain state of same-sex marriage and civil unions in Oregon, and talk to people on both sides of this contentious issue.
Host: Allison Frost, host of Oregon Considered
Guests: Mike White, executive director of Defense of Marriage Coalition, Roey Thorpe, executive director of Basic Rights Oregon.
