Oregon attorney general seeks stay in gay-marriage ruling The state of Oregon wants to post pone part of a judge's recent ruling re quiring the state to register same-sex marriage licenses issued by Multnom ah County. Oregon Attorney General Hardy Myers announced Thursday that the state is seeking a stay in the decision in an attempt to ensure equal treatment for couples who may receive same-sex marriage licenses in the future. Oregon Circuit Court Judge Frank Bearden ruled last month that the state's marriage statutes violate the Oregon Constitution by excluding same-sex couples, but he did not grant gay couples the immediate legal right to marry. Instead, Bearden or dered the Oregon Legislature to draft new marriage laws as it sees fit and told the State Registrar to validate those same-sex marriage licenses that had already been issued. Now, Myers is concerned that the Legislature's actions may provide different rights in the future than those currently afforded by the mar riage statutes. "Without a stay, some same-sex couples holding marriage licenses is sued by Multnomah County may at tempt to claim benefits that the Leg islative Assembly may subsequently decide to modify," Myers said in a press release. Myers said he knows a stay would affect the plans of some same-sex couples. "We understand that a stay of this portion of the judgment, if granted, will be disappointing to those same sex couples who have looked forward to registration of their licenses by the state," he said. "But we believe that a stay is important to ensure that all same-sex couples in Oregon receive similar treatment under Oregon law until the important constitutional is sue is finally resolved by the Oregon Supreme Court and the Legislature has had an opportunity to determine the course of action it wishes to take." As Qf press time, Bearden had not responded to Myers' statement. — Parker Howell
