This morning, three Southern Oregon guys filed with the Secretary of State to refer HB 2007 and SB 2 to the ballot next fall. They have a few months to gather over 55,000 signatures—if they succeed, expect to vote on non-discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity and domestic partnerships next year.

Their HB 2007 petition is here. And the SB 2 petition is here.

Our intern just got off the phone with Jack Brown, one of the petitioners. Look for a follow-up post in a few minutes, with Brown’s reasons for trying to repeal non-discrimination and domestic partnerships.
