U.S. | NATIONAL BRIEFING | NORTHWEST
Oregon: Attorney General Wont Defend Ban on Gay Marriage
By REUTERS FEB. 20, 2014
Oregon will not defend a ban on gay marriage in the state, which was sued by four same-sex
couples who say the ban violates the United States Constitution, the state attorney general, Ellen
Rosenblum, said Thursday. Oregon becomes the third state in the past month, after Nevada and
Virginia, to cease defending such bans. It is now clear that there is no rational basis for Oregon to
refuse to honor the commitments made by same-sex couples in the same way it honors the
commitments of opposite sex couples, Ms. Rosenblum, a Democrat, said. The decision will not
immediately legalize same-sex marriage in Oregon, where voters approved a constitutional ban in
2004. Brian Brown, the president of the National Organization for Marriage, said Ms. Rosenblum
is shamefully abandoning her constitutional duty to defend the marriage amendment
overwhelmingly enacted by the people of Oregon.
A version of this brief appears in print on February 21, 2014, on page A15 of the New York edition with the headline: Oregon:
Attorney General Wont Defend Marriage Ban .
