Oregon Supreme Court Throws Out Gay Marriage Licenses, Saying County Can't Act on Its Own (Charles E. Beggs, Apr 14, 2005, Associated Press)

The Oregon Supreme Court on Thursday nullified nearly 3,000 marriage licenses issued to same-sex couples by Multnomah County a year ago, saying a single county couldn't take such action on its own.

The court said while the county can question the constitutionality of laws governing marriage, they are a matter of statewide concern so the county had no authority to issue licenses to gay couples.


Who's have dreamt nihilism had rules?

Mike: Not to worry. The Governor is trying to run the end around.

Just another reason for the end of civil marriage. If the Metropolitan Community Church wants to perform a marriage between two men, who are the rest of us to intervene?
