The historic Marry-In has moved its main thrust from San Francisco up to Multnomah and Benton counties in Oregon. Benton will begin issuing same-sex licenses on March 23.

Reading San Fanni papers, one might think the Marry-In had ended after 29 glorious days.

Actually, it merely moved north. The Marry-In now centers on TWO counties in the state of Oregon.

Benton County will begin issuing same-sex marriage licenses on March 23. Multnomah County began doing so earlier, on March 3rd.

At the IndyBay site, the final three paragraphs of the above article appear correctly.
However, when I emailed the article, the final 3 paragraphs got mangled and shortened.

Benton County commissioners voted 2-1 Tuesday to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples beginning next week, a decision that caught all sides of a fractious debate off guard.

Benton joins Multnomah as the only counties in Oregon to approve same-sex marriages, broadening the fight over an issue that everyone expects to eventually be settled by the Oregon Supreme Court.
