I think of him every time we drive past the \"Brooks\" exit on our way up to Portland.  Rest assured Lon and his followers haven't given up the \"good fight\". They haven't stopped demonizing homosexuals. <br><br> And they fought hard against allowing Domestic Partnerships in Oregon.  Trying to force it on the ballot because Oregonians already voted no to same sex marriage and they figured Oregonians would vote no to Domestic Partnerships.  Luckily they didn't get enough signatures and our Democratic Governor signed a bill allowing gays to have Domestic Partnerships which gives them pretty much all of the benefits a married couple gets.<br><br>  Fortunately, only the fringe seems to be listening, and they are outnumbered.  So they spend their days plotting against us evil gays.  Sigh, what an existence.....<br /><span class=\"byline\">           J and M | 09.21.08 - 10:30 pm | <a href=\"#58948\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"58949\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=4fcb5cf575e5a11ddc426e0350ce83af&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=32\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />I think Ron in Texas should move to Oregon so he can help Lon Mabon focus on whats really important in this state.
