D omestic P artnership R egistrations S low s of Oct. 13, 141 couples have taken ad vantage of Multnomah C ounty’s new domestic partnership registry. The ordinance, launched Sept. 1, allows domestic partners to certify their relationship with the government. Same-sex couples are allowed to register. Both the Portland City Council and Mult nomah County Commission unanimously passed the ordinance in early August. Although public testimony was welcomed, little dissent was vocalized during the process of bringing the issue to a vote. Dick Levy and Larry Hohnet were the first of several same-sex couples to register during a press conference at the country’s marriage license office Sept. 1. Days later, several hun dred gathered at Portland’s City Hall to cele brate the ordinance. Almost 100 couples regis tered during the party. A spokesperson for the marriage license and domestic partnership office said registries have leveled off in recent weeks. Couples who want to register must be 18 years old.
