same-sex marriage

Hey! If you're an adult hanging out in California and you're in a relationship with one other person and you want to formalize that relationship by getting married, guess what?

YOU CAN!

One of yesterday's most affecting articles, to my mind, was one in the New York Times, a blog entry that invited same-sex couples to share their stories.

People's stories made me cry. Seriously. I mean, I'm not into the marriage thing myself (I'm more into the EVERYBODY deserves health care, the recognition of relationships etc. kind of thing), but who wouldn't get all teary-eyed reading the stories?

But they're mostly not from Oregon, and I want to hear from Oregonians.

So I'm shamelessly copying the NYT's idea. Are you Officially Oregonially Domestically Partnered? Did you go to Canada to get hitched? Are you headed for Cali this summer to ring them bells? When did you get together? What's your story?

Please share in the comments.

Tip o' the hat to Feministing for this one.

Not that I'm personally interested, but HELLO? Yes.
