As an activist in Portland’s lesbian and gay community for 20 years, I am fighting mad. The OCA’s latest attempt to legally make us second class citizens by amending the Oregon Constitution is an outrage. Here’s what I’ve decided to do: for every client who wears an anti-OCA button, volunteers or in some way helps out, I will donate 5% of my net proceeds to The Campaign For A Hate Free Oregon— the group running the statewide campaign against the OCA’s initiative. I am proud to provide ethical, professional and caring real estate services. I am also proud to be a member of Oregon’s lesbian and gay community. Whether you are in the market to buy or sell, join with me to fight those who would deny us that pride. Caihy Siemens Bridgetown Realty 6 Î0 S.W.
