In Oregon, "[a] federal judge has issued a temporary injunction against HB 2007, the law providing domestic partnership rights and benefits which was to have gone into effect next Wednesday, Jan. 2."

Edited to remove my erroneous dates-knowing.  Serves me right for having a million tabs open.  BRO responds:

"Our attorney believes that the judge demonstrated a fundamental misunderstanding of Oregon's initiative and referendum law. Basic Rights Oregon is appalled by this outrageous ruling, and we will continue to aggressively find opportunities to participate in the case as it moves forward, doing everything in our power to get caring and committed Oregon couples and their families the legal rights and protections they need."
