The
Alliance Defense Fund is helping in the legal fight to make sure legitimate signatures
that were collected in support of traditional marriage are lawfully counted.
Two laws approved by the legislature would provide domestic partnership to
same-sex couples, directly threatening the substance and spirit of Oregon’s voter-approved
marriage protection amendment, so signatures were gathered to allow Oregonian
voters to overturn the laws on the 2008 ballot. If the signatures are
declared valid, Oregonians would again be able to stand up for marriage in the
next election.

same-sex domestic partnership issue as well.
