Senate Bill 2 Passes Oregon Senate Again

Today in the Oregon Senate, Senate Bill 2, a bill that will ban discrimination based on sexual orientation in employment, housing and public accommodation passed in a concurrence vote (they had to concur with the House amendment on the religious exemption).

So that's that folks! 34 years in the making! 17 consecutive legislative session and 2007 was the year it finally passed. The Governor has 30 days from now to sign the bill which he has promised to do.

Basic Rights Oregon blogged live today from the floor session, you can read it here.

Oregon House bill 2007 is about same sex marriage. Oregon Senate bill is about discrimination.
The Bible has much to say about homosexuality. Is it your intention to prevent the church from quoting scripture opposing homosexuality?
