Oregon: Same-sex marriage dispute on fast track
Oregon citizens who say their rejection of same-sex marriage was quashed by the state legislature scored a small legal victory in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
The appeals court granted a motion by the Alliance Defense Fund to expedite the appeal of a federal court judge’s decision that invalidated a voter petition drive.
As WND reported, a coalition of citizen groups want Oregonians to decide on a law that created “domestic partnerships” for homosexuals and lesbians in the state. But state officials contended the petition drive failed because there were too many invalid signatures.
This case is Lemon v. Bradbury.
