Same-Sex Marriage Opponents To File Lawsuit Friday Morning

Various newscasts this evening are reporting that the newly-formed Defense of Marriage Coalition will be filing suit against Multnomah County first thing tomorrow morning.

The lawsuit will allege that the Board of Commissioners violated Oregon's law regarding open meetings, request an immediate injunction against the County, seek a reversal of the County's decision, and ask that a ruling be made clarifying that the statutory definition of marriage restricts it to one man and one woman.

Not yet being in the loop as far as news releases out of the Coalition, that's all we know. But we expect to be at the courthouse in the morning and will report back
