Debate Club Debate Club: Tonight!

Posted by Amy J. Ruiz on Wed, Feb 27 at 1:42 PM

I’m busy prepping questions for tonight’s conversation with Aubrey Harrison of Basic Rights Oregon, and Cecil Prescod of Love Makes a Family, as we talk about domestic partnerships and marriage.

Some of the questions on my list:

How does Oregon get from domestic partnerships for same-sex couples, to full marriage equality?

Should domestic partnerships be expanded to be available to more than just same-sex couples?

Is it time to cede the word “marriage” to religious groups, and focus on civil relationship recognition that’s equal across the board?

Should government even be involved in people’s relationships?

We’ll have time for audience questions, as well. Meet us at rontoms at 6th and E Burnside at 7 pm. (Happy Hour goes until 6:30, if you want to show up early to partake in cheap eats, and we’ll have special Debate Club New Deal vodka drinks available, too!)
