Check back here in two hours, when the state senate takes up the domestic partnership bill—the bill that:

Provides that any privilege, immunity, right or benefit granted by law to individual who is or was married is granted to individual who is or was in a domestic partnership. Provides that any responsibility imposed by law on individual who is or was married is imposed on individual who is or was in a domestic partnership.

If this bill passes the senate, all that’s left is Governor Ted Kulongoski’s signature—and he supports the bill.

I’ll be liveblogging the action (as will Basic Rights Oregon, on their blog).
